Wow, you rock.

Yes, I think it would be a good idea. Let's brainstorm about some other
ways to attract contributors too.

So:

* Mentoring;
* Updating our wiki pages;
* Blogging with calls for contribution;
* Taking better care of people posting to the list;
* Adding a prominent "contribute" link to the website;
* Encouraging people writing documentation on their blogs to get
involved in the project;
* more?

Matt
