One thing that I've wanted to do for a while is hold regular marketing
meetings, where marketing contributors can find out what is happening
in the project, so that they can follow up with news posts and
articles. This could fit in well with what you are proposing here, and
would be a good opportunity for people who want to contribute to get a
foot in the door.
