+1 I was thinking of adding/redesigning the web site in order to entice
people to join. But I hear the option of adding some links or
questions to the installer (less practical I guess, but who knows?)

The community is our base, our starting point, and our first "customer"
as well (we, the marketing team). When we do marketing, we don't
market a product but we market the community to the community; so the
challenge is to grow it, and to grow it we need to involve it, and to
involve it, we need to reach out to it, and reaching out to the
community means both improving our internal communication and workflow,
and growing the actual size of the community...
