Although it is important that the community keeps on growing, we reached critical mass a long time ago, IMHO. For innovators yes. For early adopters, no. They value different things.
There was a great TED Talk that speaks to this topic: Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html And a Smalltalk discussion of it at http://forum.world.st/Spreading-Smalltalk-td3435227.html The bottom line is: tell people what you believe, not what you do; and the tipping point (critical mass) is 15%-18%. "You can trip over 10% of the customers... that just 'get it'", but "the early majority will not try something until someone else has tried it first" -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Re-Company-freelance-working-with-Pharo-Seaside-tp4187...
