@chris - i am listed as a visitor. happy to remain this way unless you think i should have more permissions!
I think someone, somewhere mentioned sending a digest of discourse activity to the p2pu-community Google group but I don’t remember seeing it after it being mentioned? I think that would help let people know that “oh people are doing stuff over there…maybe I should go check out the details.”
I think a big help will be to continue to promote it personally. Talk it up, build some buzzz. Just try and tell people in regular communications what we like about it and any discussions we found interesting/important that are taking place here.
I agree, with the conversation and in time we will see the shift (tenacity and patience 
)
