Josh, I'll try to find out the numbers for contributions so we can be more concrete on that point. Seetharam, I was thinking that giving more talks on Rya and having more publications on Rya will hopefully increase visibility of the project, which in turn will attract users, then users start finding bugs/wanting features, and they start submitting code contributions for some of those. Hence the desire to have a talk on Rya at ApacheCon. If people with more experience have suggestions on how to increase the community in general and contributors in particular, please let us know.
