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.

I will share what I've learned, through analysis, interviews, and experimentation, about what makes Drupal contrib projects successful. I'll cover everything from planning to maintenance to leaving a project. I won't talk about code at all.

You'll leave with plenty of information on how you can make your Drupal contributions more successful. And also some inspiration.
