Community doesn't just happen. Community doesn't just grow of its own accord. Community grows when people make serious, explicit actions to help it grow, to bring in newcomers, to publish plans in many places *before* code is written. Building community is hard work that you have to intend to do. If you don't do the work, it won't just happen any more than code writes itself.
