Want a Stellar Project? You Need to Document and Promote It

Do you have an awesome WordPress plugin, Drupal module, Zend Framework module, or PHP library, one that you want people to use, to be truly successful, perhaps one people even rave about? Often, most of the effort expended on a project goes in to development, with documentation and promotion considered after-thoughts. But these two steps are essential to a project's success. In this session, I'll show you key ways to document and promote your project, so it's easier to find out about, to start using, to maintain, and to grow its reputation, using examples of real world successes.

I'm finding it tough to say it better, as I have a 600 char limit

I would start stronger and snappier if possible.

"Got a great open source project or module that you want people to find, use and love? It's not just about the code; this session will teach you how to ..." you get the idea. At least those events with 600 char limits are honest about how much abstract they are prepared to read before they give up and move on .... think of it as a feature :)

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I think I was too broad in this, and perhaps the other two Gists tbh. I'll see what I can come up with.
