I agree with this too. Well, apart from the bit about building a team for marketing. When we actually attempt a marketing project, we do pretty well; we had CDs for OSCON and we've a conference coming up for example. With more, more concrete projects (with fixed timescales and clear deliverables) for volunteers to gather around, I believe we would both see successful marketing and less unproductive bikeshedding. But that's probably a discussion for another thread :-)
