...for people in the USA, perhaps. Please, don't be ignorant, the USPTO
isn't the only idiotic patent office in the world.
I would like to steer this thread back to the topic of the MS press release
and Julian's question - what else should SPF be doing.
What else are we supposed to do?
I can toss out some more ideas, but I want to hear from others. What are
some things SPF can do right now? I don't mean just PR, but anything that
will help break the logjam. I agree with Julian, SPF shouldn't try to
compete with Microsoft in the slick PR arena. But there are lots of
PR-type things, like fixing the website, that will help. Let's make a
list, then maybe a plan.
