Good initiative. However, I think that "attracting new devs" is a bit
to narrow an approach. A project can have new people stop by every
week and still not be productive. I'm thinking something along the
lines of "How to keep and make productive libre graphics projects?".
Having a steady inflow of new developers is part of that, but just a
means to an end in my book.
