Better communication towards users:
* Publish more blog articles on the website
  * Articles on developer work
  * Guest writers?
  * Continue the "Xubuntu at..." series
* Do a better job at following up with comments and replies
  * We do good with direct replies
  * Need to do better about tracking "mentions" - there are a lot of these and we don't respond much
  * More admins will help with this
