Ive been thinking about contributing with my marketing/business skills. Though Im not sure how receptive people might be. Marketing is such a taboo issue in tech that it might backfire and create a shit storm of incredible proportions around me.

What do fellow HN'ers think?

I think FLOSS projects do such a bad job at marketing and publicity that you would be doing them an immense favour volunteering your skills in that way. OTOH, increasing popularity increases workload so you would have to be careful about scaling the user community at the correct rate.

Good points. I've been thinking about this for about a while and really want to do it. Anyone interested? Do you think I should do a ASK HN type of thread offering my contribution?

Go with an Ask HN thread.

Thanks for the feedback. I shall do that once new year has passed. :)
