I sympathize with the difficulty of creating a community, but I do think it's amazing how much you've been able to do so far. Admittedly I am not familiar with the specifics of the technology, but in the midst of creating personal relationships through conferences, etc., it would be great to encourage technical means for sharing/collaborating/etc., as well as the 'human layer'.
