Thanks for starting this thread. I am glad it is receiving such great energy on here. Apart from the some of the statements that sound too ideal, I agree in gist with the overall effort this will hopefully set rolling.

One more action item that I should be considered and people agreed to during the summit was to "Improve the welcome to the mailing list email" I believe it needs to be warmer and more welcoming. It needs to break through the ice and intimidation that many new contributors feel. A lot of the ideas being suggested here can be linked into that email. I have a few ideas about what it should like and will hopefully send out a draft soon. Feel free to send me any suggestions you might have.

Thanks, Garima Singh
