Building a community is among the most important aspects of ASF projects so it's always a good idea to bring new members in when you feel that they are ready.
There are various pages in ASF documentation [1] describing when and how to invite new members. Please check them out and if there are further questions I would be happy to elaborate more. Looking forward to seeing more people joining the project.
