How to promote Allura more?
I think we should try to promote Allura more, so we can get more users and
contributors. Recently we got a nice slick logo and website, and have made
another release, but I think we can do more.
One idea I had would be to write articles or blog posts about new releases and
new features. We're doing great stuff, but what shows that on
allura.apache.org? Just a short line "Jun 2015 Changelog". It's buried behind
that Changelog link. So I was thinking we could write a nice page when we make
a release or other improvements, and then have a News section to highlight those
on our main page.
If we write news articles (or other types, like how-tos) we could then promote
them on reddit, hacker news, etc too. Getting our name and features out in
front of more eyes would be good.
What other things can we do?

I like the "how-to" idea...
We could also include a "Quick Start" section on our landing page (like the
one here <http://mezzanine.jupo.org/>).
