Thanks for the update. Have you thought about setting up a project blog and tweeting out progress, news, things going on in wider ecosystem? Each blog post is an opportunity to tweet and to share the link on Reddit, Hacker News, and so on.
Same thing with releases. What's the current release cadence like? Making regular (even if small) releases serves as a sort of heart beat for the project, and can be very useful for drumming up interest. Basically, we should be looking for opportunities to get the word out about the project. Some comments on the website: We don't mention "contribution" anywhere. While the website is obviously intended for downstream users, we should also be thinking of it as an job advertisement. We are looking to recruit people to the project. What can we do to make this happen? cf. http://couchdb.apache.org/#contribute I'd also suggest we think about establishing some bylaws and a code of conduct. cf. http://couchdb.apache.org/bylaws.html cf. http://couchdb.apache.org/conduct.html Both documents help to make the project more welcoming. -- Noah Slater https://twitter.com/nslater
