summary
Argues that community growth is tactical not theoretical, showing three real cases: a acquired open project revived by conducting user interviews, producing a playbook and documentation and measuring number of interviews and number of case studies; a stalled foundation project that gains adopters by publishing measurable use cases and presenting at events; and an adoption‑led project that runs Hands‑On labs and courses, tracks enrollment numbers and funnels active users into paid services. Recommends small experiments, clear measures, and alignment with organizational goals.
