Don't you see the problem here? You're asking for volunteers for the
unknown. You need to tell people exactly what they're signing up
for, or at least tell them you're holding a meeting to explain what
needs you have. Once you get people there in a captive audience
where they can't hide by lurking anonymously, you're more likely to
get volunteers.
I didn't quite grok what your 'Library project' was when reading it
on the discuss list. I had questions similar to Bruce's (though I
knew it didn't require coding :) But there wasn't much substance to
it, and it left me wanting more information which never came.
(you could say I should have asked, however, I shouldn't need to is
the point. There are a whole bunch of people on that list that likely
had similar questions. It's up to us as the organizers to provide
either the answers, or the forum more conducive to questions getting
asked.)

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
