Could you elaborate on what you mean when you refer to "users" and
"testers"? How does one become someone "who really cares about the
project" in you scenario? What, in your scenario, motivates someone to
become a "tester" (or code contributor) if (s)he doesn't get to be a
user as well (and, more importantly, doesn't get to be a user *first*)?
I suggest linking to good weeklies from the mozilla.org front page so
that interested people *would find* them. There are already complaints
about a high barrier of entry for those who wanted to care about the
project.
