Counting the time I took to cleanup the wiki, WOWODC organization, WOWODC presentations, wocommunity.org, mailing lists, etc., I have spent more than 250 hours this year on community stuff. And I'm starting to think that those 250 hours were wasted...

I used to be moderately involved in a few of the FreeBSD mailing lists, for example, and the _proportions_ of people playing the various roles are about the same, but the communities differ in size by probably a couple of orders of magnitude. If we were the size of FreeBSD, we'd have 10 Pascals, and we'd be rocking.
There is a lot of truth in that. However, we are not going to get the numbers unless we improve the non-technical infrastructure. Which leaves us rather stuck. We need to get more out of who we have to get more people involved. Why don't more WO developers do something to help make things better? What can the rest of us do to make them want to? Are those the questions we should be asking?
