It was my suggestion. We have attended many conferences with the 
intention of attracting devs to the project and are still well organized 
for more such conference attendance but we have had very little in the 
way of trying to work on user/membership growth which has led us to 
critical shortage of membership help in many areas of our project.

There are just too few of us trying to contribute for the amount of 
work. We are great at initiatives, but, maintaining these initiatives 
needs a volunteer workforce of contributors (i.e. wiki page maintenance, 
website page maintenance, events maintenance, marketing, design ...). 
Some of our most prolific contributors are now helping with maintenance 
whereas they should be (ideally) working on projects they are more 
interested in. We need more user/member contributors to help upkeep our 
project in areas other than coding.

These are all the arguments for which I proposed we go for education as 
we will get a larger spectrum of potential user-volunteer-types in this 
category.

Cheers,

Marc
