“So, how do you help your community help you? If you
have a motivated community, it’s actually pretty easy —
but requires some nudging at first to get the ball rolling:

“Provide artwork and banners for the community to display on
their own blogs. For example, the openSUSE Project has buttons and
banners to display on blogs and other community sites.

“Create a list on Twitter or group on Identi.ca for your
project. Keep them reasonable, but definitely have at least one
easy to find list/group for your project.”
