Пришлите 20-30 полезных скриптов для общего пользования:
* что-то качают из интернета и разгребают инфо
* что-то ищут
* что-то сортируют
Выложим в DevCon, анонсируем.
Дальше юзеры и девелоперы начнут присылать свои скрипты.
100-200 скриптов и *наконец-то* REXX начнет рекламировать/продвигать ОС.
Как человек принимает решение о переходе на eCS? Если видит, что она может выполнять нужную ему работу.
