Increasing userbase, that starts with either cool eye candy effects that
just eats processing for nothing and gaming which would mean focusing on the
desktop and or / console or maybe attach something else which would sound
'cool' to newbies so much that they start to check it out and THEN realize
the true difference.

I wonder if we start having like a show case of "what can you do with your
FreeBSD box" would help or not.

Developers are harvested from the population usually, so creating such a
buzz might be beneficial for the future.
