IMHO, completing service can take priority. But again, the best way is
get the community feedback and decide.

1. solidify documentation is one thing that I can think of. Agree that
whirr is simple to use, but who start using it
need helpful information to satisfy their needs like a person looking
for Cassandra related stuff would like it specific to it, rather
than having to move through complete doco. Probably, it would be as
simple as adding more samples in doco.
2. FAQ's need to be strong, and simple way to build them is
incrementally adding the resolution of issues discussed in ML's
3. Presentation page need some luv. BTW, your whirr presentation on
slideshare must be added to this page :)

blog/tweet, and probably plan a session in upcoming ApacheCon :)
