I think, before any of that, we need coherent and complete user documentation. Almost all the committers we have, have come because they have used a system that used bookkeeper, and needed to understand what bookkeeper was doing. None have come from the perspective of wanting to build a new system with it.
Right now, if someone came to the site and tried build something with bookkeeper, they'd lost. We need to make it so that someone with only a cursory knowledge of distributed systems can get started. Once that barrier is down, getting more people and usecases should be easier. -Ivan On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Flavio Junqueira < [email protected]> wrote: > The options I know for community growth are: > - Frequent releases to make sure we incorporate patches of the various > contributors and so that we can new committers joining.- Talks in various > visible events like ApacheCon, Strata, etc.- Meetups in different locations > to attract new contributors. > - Blog posts about the project, use cases, etc. > Increasing the frequency of releases is probably a good idea, something > like one every 3-4 months just to have a reference. > -Flavio >
