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.
