jooq - My open source library is stabilising. Now how to get attention? -


i had stabilised developments of major open source library written in java. have published article on server side, has brought me lot of positive (but critic, constructive) feedback. , first contributor, great!

so of feedback, have great feeling project, in way creating useful , original. key ideas behind project, , why think original:

  • it's or-mapper. ok, isn't original... ;-)
  • it has code generation in it. ok, still not original. that's nice.
  • it allows creating type-safe queries in java using own domain specific language. that's better. no string concatenation. jpa has copied criteria queries hibernate.
  • it allows doing sql features, including complex joins, nested selects, unions, aliasing, etc. seems original me. or-mappers tend try ignore relational data model behind rdbms.
  • it supports kinds of native non-standard functionality udts, stored procedures, native functions, etc. don't know or-mapper that.

i think these key ideas useful specific type of developer. specific developer

  • interfaces java huge legacy databases.
  • knows sql , wants use extensively.
  • doesn't want learn new language (hql, jpql, etc)
  • doesn't want spend 1 minute fine-tuning sophisticated xml-configuration.
  • wants little abstraction on sql, because software tightly coupled database. think guys @ hibernate or jpa seem have ignored.
  • edit: needs strong light-weight library database access. instance when develop mobile devices (see comment srm).

now beginning of hard work. how attention? how can attain bigger crowd? how can project become relevant? how reach "specific type of developer"?

i set professional looking site (one doesn't designed 15 year old script kiddie). make sure have ample documentation plenty of and/or tutorials using library. example applications see real world usage of library.

once have setup typical seo drive traffic site. includes blog articles, links page , or articles, , possibly buying addwords google.
