How can we increase passion in Firebird users/developers

There is long thread on increasing the passion in Firebird users (Or how can we improve the project).
Alternate threaded view is on gmane.

I liked this response about the long Firebird 3.0 release cycle

To be fair, V3 involved massive changes to the code base – breaking the server into pluggable
pieces so it can handle multiple versions without hugely complicating the code, plus fine grained
multi-threading, plus new security features essential for a contemporary database) and dozens
of other major features.

There are more changes in Firebird V3 than any version I can think of since InterBase V1 to
InterBase V3 … maybe excepting V3 to V4 which added Windows support and SuperServer.
It’s an amazing feat for such a small group, and all the changes are critically important if Firebird
is to succeed in the next decade.

Best regards,

Ann
