- willcb's follow-up advice to the PAW author on promoting the project:
- To attract target users: double down on engaging content (threads, demos, videos, graphics) showing what you can do with PAW and how target users would use it.
- To gain research impact: focus on the methods — what training recipes, any scaling laws?
- And bluntly: stop the reply spamming.
