In the "plans for the next period" section, I removed "Increase release frequency", since, in my opinion, we've done a fairly good job of that with consistent quarterly releases. I think the main focus needs to be on building community and contributions, so I added "Encourage contributions from active users". Along with "Identify potential committers", I think this gets across that we need to build the active developer community. In support of that, I think there are more improvements we can make to docs and the website to help get people started.
In a separate thread, I mentioned adding a "Powered By" page that folks can use to describe their use of Twill. We'll first need a wiki where that page can exist. I'll take that on. Any other ideas for doc improvements to help get people started are welcome.
