Hi Eric, This is a great thread to start up.
Couple ideas for growing community: 1. getting users of the system on the mailing list. Do you guys have any users there at Cloudera that say aren't on the mailing list for MRUnit, that could join? That could help generate interest. 2. sending an email to general@incubator, or general@hadoop asking for folks interested in the project to come and join up. 3. getting a release together and pushing it out, generating some interest. I'd say it's something we should start to report in our MRUnit status reports (something to watch), but we're not sunk yet. We just need to get a bit more vigilant about the community and the project. My contributions unfortunately at this point are guidance, VOTE'ing, and helping with the ASF policies and procedures, and less code oriented at this time. But I'll try and step up my involvement.
