Getting involved in Google Summer of Code through Apache is a good way
to start, as I've mentioned before. You'll need to come up with some
self-contained projects that have value and can be done by a new comer
to the project. Maintaining an up-to-date list of these (use the
wiki) wish-list projects should help. Standard practice is also to
describe these in Jira.
The other half is just outreach. Taverna's been around for a long
time, so you have collaborators and users who you can engage.
Hackathons + hangouts would be one way to engage. You want to get the
message out that Taverna is open for contributions and, more
importantly, open for people to have a full say in the project (as PMC
members).
Messages will longer to propagate than you think even allowing for this
rule. In a way, it's a mark of success that most users don't look at
the project every day/week/month (the shock! of it).
You'll need to keep saying "Apache Taverna" and get the most engaged
users to say it then ...
