I think improvement is a community-wide process. It's not a job for just a single person.

Although I certainly try to do my part by contributing to academic research and being a chief proponent of ease-of-use functionality in Open MPI, it is nowhere near enough. Improving the community, by definition, will require participation from a lot of people. The first step is awareness, which was started by Jonathan's blog entry. Hopefully, Brock and my podcast helped in that area, too. The next step is discussion and introspection, and is something in which we all need to participate.
