Engaging new members

[AndyatFocallocal]

Here’s a challenge i just set the UX team. Its a community building challenge too, so i’ll cross tag it so that both teams can engage on it.

I thought of a good question to begin with:

Most of our team currently engage in silo’d discussions on Slack. We are moving as much of that as possible over to this forum now so that new team members arrive and see an energetic community which is exciting to be a part of.

I’ve just begun putting ads out again and so new people like Alexia are arriving here now to have a look. How do we engage new team members when they arrive to a site which needs a lot of improvement, and the activity levels aren’t yet apparent?
Can we find an improvement on flinging mud against the wall until some sticks?
