The general approach that has been proven to work is “turn your idea into a potential money maker and be/find a person who can push it through to completion, like Musk/Jobs/Tiel”.
See, that’s what I thought—any hashtag I tweet or editorial letter I write is going to be way less effective than the movement leader telling a journalist that “Stark Doobin” (no, seriously, that’s how he announced it) was going to be the person who could push the plan into completion.
That makes me wonder whether any of the volunteer tasks are useful at all (share a tweet, share a meme, make a blog post, etc.), or whether they exist primarily to keep volunteers engaged. Which is in itself useful, keep the biggest fans on board so they don’t get distracted by other shinies, but still.
