Notes:
This report was late last month, so it it sent in a month later than
the normal reporting schedule.
Last time the board asked some questions about community activity and
specifically adding "new blood". We are actively trying to engage
users that are contributing suggestions and patches. Hopefully that
will lead to new committers. Traffic is still relatively slow.
