How to present Orchard to specific audiences

What to highlight?

• PHP developers: PHP scripting (high on “cool-factor”)
• Client-side/JavaScript (NodeJS) developers:
• Complete control over the output sent to the browser, simple theming
• Gulp integration (or use whatever task runner you'd like to)
• Static resource management
• Server-side JavaScript scripting
• Bloggers: DotNest SaaS with site templates (i.e. recipes), simple but flexible content management
• Project managers/decision makers (CEOs/CTOs):
  • Out of the box functionality
  • Technology keywords (content/user/media management, API, Workflows)
  • Modularization (parallelization of work) and 3^rd party modules
