Successful Drupal Contrib Projects: Some Non-Technical Tips
So you wrote some code and you posted it on Drupal.org so everyone can use it. Great! Now the work begins. Writing code is only one step to making a Drupal contrib project successful, and too often we treat it as the only step. Let's talk about everything else you should do to make your project great.
