Yes it works only if enough people participate. We could decide that we do a "Day" only if we have at least 4 participants for example. When we send the email to propose the next day, people who wants to participate reply and we send a reminder the day before for example. For the 1st Deprecation Fixing Day we got 5 participants which was good. I was expecting 1 or 2 more but 5 was a nice score.
