What is marketing?

This repository contains the content and data that power the Symfony website, specifically the information about Symfony components and projects. Think of it as a database and content library, when you visit symfony.com and browse through components or see a showcase of projects built with Symfony, the information on that page comes from files stored here. The repository is organized in a straightforward way. It uses YAML files (a simple text format for storing structured data) and PNG images to describe each project. When someone wants to add their Symfony-based project to the website's showcase, they follow a basic three-step process: create a YAML file with the project details, add a logo image, and register the project in a master list. The website then reads these files and displays them to visitors. Who would use this? Primarily, developers and companies who've built something using Symfony, an open-source PHP framework for building web applications, and want to get visibility on the official Symfony website. It's like submitting your app to an app store directory, except it's community-driven. Contributors might include indie developers showcasing side projects, startups built on Symfony, or established companies wanting to highlight their Symfony-based products. The barrier to entry is low: you don't need to understand complex systems, just add a few files and your project appears in the official gallery. The content here is openly licensed under Creative Commons, meaning anyone can use, modify, and share this information as long as they credit the original sources and use the same license. This keeps the Symfony ecosystem transparent and collaborative, letting the community contribute and shape how projects are represented.
