Building a healthy community around FOSS project

Dear Lazyweb, I am looking for suggestions for building a healthy community around one of my FOSS project.  Recently I initiated re-launching of  Zope 3 project with a new name: BlueBream . You may know from my old posts that I am very interested in Zope 3 and Zope Component Architecture (ZCA).  I have written an entire book about  ZCA in 2006. You can read more about the new project in the BlueBream project blog .  I am looking for your suggestions.  You can send mail to me: baiju.m.mail AT gmail.com or add comment here . Well, I will continue with my past experience with FOSS. This is my second largest FOSS project, the first project which I started in 2001 ( SMC ) is still very active.  However, for the past few years, I am not active in that project. I still watch that project growing (of course, I help them whenever possible ). There are more than 500 members in the group itself.  The developers regulary meet at various events.  They organize lots of workshops, camps etc. SMC mi
