What is the Grails strategy to spread buzz like Rails did?

Hello all,

I found this url:
http://rubyworld.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/wow-very-huge-list-of-upcoming-rubyrails-books-in-2008/

A lot of Rails books that will be published at at 2008-2009.
But as far as i know only 2 books will be published for grails:
Grails in Action and Definitive Guide to Grails second edition...

Also a lot of Rails jobs there,
But if i checked grailsjobs.com,  very rarely updated.. only 2 new jobs for this July
The worst, until now grails.org/jobs only posted 1 job :(

I think Grails need to be marketed and making more buzz 

So I think it will be good for Grails buzz to build video site like in Railsenvy.com
or create popular service like Twitter that make Rails more popular or make online book with new philosophy in software development like http://gettingreal.37signals.com/

So i hope there is plan or strategy from Grails company like G2One to make Grails more Holy ;D
I like grails and i just started to contribute using my blog grailsdeveloper.com and maybe in the short time i will contribute in grails plugin development...

I also have positive thing from cakephp, the popular framework in PHP area.., i like that they have http://bakery.cakephp.org/ that provide articles, tutorials, behaviors, plugins in one place that help developers to be more productive

In my opinion, I believe Grails have bright future, but maybe need some actions from community or maybe support from big vendor to make it brighter.

Best regards,
