Just as one additional data point: http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html is the Apache Community Development Project's guidelines. For other tasks than coding see also here: http://community.apache.org/committers/#assisting-with-project-management-and-marketing https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html#community for more on the maturity model's take on community. One thing to keep in mind: All successful OSS projects I came across at some point had to deal with topics that were very far away from writing actual code. In your committer guidelines you can make a conscious choice to explicitly mention that those tasks will be rewarded as well - which in turn might lead to people who won't necessarily contribute code (either due to legal constraints or simply lack of interest or skills) to take these tasks up for you. I remember seeing discussions on whether to turn non-coding-contributors into committers recently, but my search-foo has left me, I don't find the thread in question anymore :/ Isabel -- Sorry for any typos: Mail was typed in vim, written in mutt, via ssh (most likely involving some kind of mobile connection only.)
