As the ambassador- and marketing programs have shown, when a few key people put in lots of energy, a huge multiplication effect can follow. See the statistics I shared. Once the key people go away, things fall apart.
Any project that nobody is willing to put an effort to will never happen or die. That is a good thing! As this leaves only the stuff that someone really want's.
Don't propose it, do it...
You assume all people have the drive you do. I wish that were true ;-) The reality is that plenty of people are willing to help out, but need to be nudged in the right direction. I don't mean told what to do, but suggestions and calls for help or action do get lots of response - by people who would simply not have done much without those. This is how collaboration works, of course. I don't think this means the things nobody pushed for are not worth doing, just that - nobody pushed for it. Yet, with some pushing, lots of people would've cared. And yes, there are downsides to this too - perhaps it makes people sometimes expect that somebody pushes, so they don't. By the way, the discussion on the marketing ML makes me very happy :D /J
