I think the lack of marketing will change once we have a stable 1.0 client to introduce new users to.
Encouraging newbies to come to an unfinished product could have quite negative consequences.
Bytemaster recently said that lots of instructional documentation and new feature announcements are coming around the first week of June this year.
A stable 1.0 client should follow soon after.
I think BM said as much on the last Dev Hangout but if anybody knows better please correct me.
