I’ve signed the report. It doesn’t look like it has been submitted to the Board yet.
Thanks for expanding on what you see as the challenges for the project. Growing the community is definitely worth focusing on. There may be some small things you could do that — when you look back in 3 years — will turn out to be the catalysts for greater growth. Improving the documentation, giving talks to local companies or universities, posting on twitter, making a series of videos, are all ideas that could possibly create that spark. And they can be done by any contributor - not just those who write a lot of code.
