We need one news spokesman for the Chinese community.
FINALLY I got Dan & Stan to admit our failures and weaknesses and decide we need a fresh approach. With some control over PTS spending I think I can organize a good attempt at fixing the problem areas listed in the title.+5%
To kick off this effort, I've been given clearance to award 35 PTS a piece to some members of the community for their hard work and initiative. Please PM your PTS addresses to Stan if you are on this list.

fuznuts, for fighting to get the mumble hangouts organized.
xeroc, for the writeups on the github wiki: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/wiki
CLains, for the managing micro-bounty initiative
Agent86, for keeping up the argument against me and BM until we upgraded the DPOS voting mechanism to the better solution
merockstar, for reviving my six-week-old plea to get some good writeups of educational material
... and a few more unawarded, because I'm *sure* I can't remember everyone off the top of my head. PM me for nominations.
Next up, a serious all-hands-on-deck PTS-incentivized effort to fix some of these problem points. Suggestions are welcome, I've got a game plan cooked up on which I can execute on given dan/stan's blessings, but this is not a one-man effort.
So can I ask that you give my 35 PTS to (or add it to another award if you were going to make one already) to whoever you think does the best job promoting Bitshares & the last days of AGS on other forums in the next few weeks?+5% hats of for Empirical! ....it wouldn't hurt so substantially size up that bounty... The ecosystem will profit from more suporters and contributers. The value proposition of AGS will increase if the infromed group of DAC supporters is bigger....
I think this is a great idea!! +5% +5% (Thanks for the recognition! :) )
Honestly, I don't know if you get any sleep Toast! You seem to do so much!
I think one of the main things is getting out there and promoting Bitshares on other forums, maybe specifically getting out there and making sure people are aware that it is the last 25 days of AGS donations! (So that you get more development funds and also so people can't say we didn't make an effort to let them know.)

We need one news spokesman for the Chinese community.
Is there any way to get them on the Mumble Server? In my experience, many people from outside our country "think" they cant speak english, but actually can hold a rather functional conversation. With that said, it would be helpful to actually get to know the Chinese members in a relatively open forum. So please, if anyone here is Chinese (or from any other country for that matter), please feel free to use the server--it will help us greatly if we can coordinate internationally and this service (or any other VOIP/Hangout type service) will really improve communication and coordination.

Well , I mean 3i maybe should assign someone officially as the news spokesman to take the responsibilty for Sync/Clarify/Announce the critical information from 3i in fluent chinese.
Why need?
1. As big part of the community are from china , it is not easy for them to catch up the meaning from english block presicely due to their english obstacle . and that always makes misunderstanding.
2. Though we got lots of enthusiastic members here to translate and transfer important info to chinese block , but I think it is not enough. Because it is hard to get enough accuracy and efficiency from voluntary labor.
3.If we got one (or more) official spokesman for the chinese community, then we get one efficient bridge between 3i and chinese community,that will help us eliminate unnecessary misunderstanding just like the unhappy story yesterday.

I've asked Bo Shen if he could do this, but I would also like you guys to nominate someone if you can. Maybe yourself, OverTheTop?

I agree with this except I would go further. Developers come from internet communities. I do not believe they usually come from whatever the marketing guy is doing. Developers will create DACs independently which is what Bitshares needs. Users will then come for the DACs or exchange. Right now Bitshares has an approach and future technology to be released. Users are great, but future developers are where its at.
If you want a network effect, we need developers. They are the first step.
Advertising at conferences etc is a very expensive way to likely accomplish less although it could lead to investment/consulting for I3 which is also very good for Bitshares. I am not sure what the marketing guy does, but when comparing his expenses + salary to this sort of stuff it seems borderline no-brainer. No slight to him personally, currently I just don't think traditional marketing has much value in this "space".
my 2 cents.

liondani, because I keep getting recommendations to include him
Haven't read all the comments on this thread because I'm moving quickly today and have to be offline soon, but Just wanted to let everyone know that Legendface66, Gamey and JoeyD are all vital at this juncture to the project we call "Beyond Bitcoin". So although I appreciate the credit, they are very important too.

i second gamey for the help he gave me clarifying some concepts on mumble.
