[Phpwomen] PHPWomen Merchandise: Good Idea?

[Petra Dreiskamper]

Hi Lorna and everyone,

Just a quick shout from me:
I think it's a great idea and I can't really help with the online 
retailers but what about selling a pink-phpwomen elephant? To accompany 
the blue little fella?
(Or has this been suggested a 1000 times already?)
