Here's a quick list:

1) Make sure our website communicates what we want to "sell" in an attractive 
   way
2) Organize the community to help with promo, writing articles, blogs, etc.
3) Help with release promotion (manage press, make sure release notes and 
press kits are there and up to date), connect journalists with developers, 
etc.

These are all pretty huge tasks, and to make an impact, a one-time churn isn't 
going to pay off in the long run, we need these things organized and planned 
so community members can help out. More leadership on the promo side would be 
great.

I'd be happy to help anyone taking on this task to hit the ground running.

Cheers,
