Why have an active community?

A community that cares about your site will help build and maintain it. The more your members help you build your site, the more they will want to share that work with their friends. All of that work is great for attracting even more visitors and getting more contributions.

What can I do?

A good place to start is by inviting friends or colleagues to join your site. Once you've got a few people on your site, it's time to think about how to Encourage Others to Contribute.
