Are community building efforts outside of the scope of bounties?
of course not. any effort that people are willing to contribute money to is welcome.
I'd like to see material for newcomers that lowers barriers to entry by demonstrating supporting tools and and whatever is part of the pike tool chain in general. The more appetizingly served, the better.
i think that is basicly what we meant by writing articles about pike.
Driving pike adoption isn't so much advocacy as *showing* how pike is useful, pleasant and/or luxorous.
indeed. that's my preferred form of advocacy anyways :-)
Critique openly contrasting pike misfeatures to design choices made in other language environments makes useful subject matter too (but is, in itself, perhaps not quite bounty material).
it does fit in the article category.
