I'd like to initiate one more discussion about how the community interacts and gets engaged. Here is a checklist:
Project has a well-known web site that points to all the information required to operate according to this maturity model.
Community welcomes contributions from anyone who acts in good faith and in a respectful manner and adds value to the project.
Contribution considered as source code, documentation, constructive bug reports, constructive discussions, marketing, and generally anything that adds value to the project.
Community is a "holarchy" (see Governance Principles) and over time aims to give more rights and responsibilities to contributors who add value to the project.
Methods for contributors to increase privileges such as commit access or decision power is clearly documented and is the same for all contributors.
Community operates based on consensus of its members who have decision power.
Project strives to answer user questions in a timely manner.
Project has an open real-time communication platform such as IRC.
Project's real-time communications if any are archived so that users can refer back to past conversations.
Community forum or other discussion platform for users to ask questions, w/reasonable response times from the community.
Active and diverse set of contributing members representing various constituencies.
