While the stories on the site are great, almost none of them make any
mention of the financial success of the project. They are very useful
in showing other developers what mod_perl has to offer, but are
difficult to use in convincing someone who only cares about "revenue
generation." If there is a way to go back and get the numbers on the
total dollar value of the orders run through the EToys system, it would
probably be a good bit of information to include. I only mention the
EToys article because I think most people would point to it as "the"
example that they would want to use in a conversation with management on
why mod_perl should be used.
I think that a lot of the time these stories are written by the
programmers, who are much more interested in proving that the
programming environment is superior (it is) than showing the financial
gains made by switching over. Perhaps a blurb reminding the author to
include as much information on the money made/saved by their
organization could be added to the bottom of the success story page
where the instructions for posting are.
