Hats Off! to Ginger for creating TSL.

I was quite excited when I first found TSL. I was, in fact, looking for an open research community, without much luck. I was actually planning on building a similar website, if I couldn't find one already in existence.

I must admit that I am somewhat discouraged that TSL has been around for over a year, had some rather high powered publicity at kickoff, but seems to be languishing.

Why are not more people here?

What are the issues that prevent people from contributing?
