A couple of things that might help make Gnash more popular. They may not be realistic though :) 1) Make it either play files successfully or fail cleanly. 2) Campaign to encourage important sites that use flash to test with gnash. The first requires technical skills, but probably less than making gnash work perfectly(!) The second is somewhat dependant on the first, but does not require technical skills.

And what would the argument be? That testing (and presumably fixing) sounds expensive. So you'd have to convince the video producer that there are enough people who refuse to use Windows/IE, and buy things advertised on the site, that the advertisers would pay for that testing/fixing. I'm skeptical.
