This is so important! My Top 10: Have a great welcome mat, complete, focus on results and current challenges, have tested and inspirational starter kits, provide fast, tested and empathetic video tutorials, be responsive from the core team, have a space for community and join in, show results of said community in updates, thank people, be clear on your goals, be open for feedback. On this top 10, I still think the best example is the launch and first 5 years of Ruby On Rails.
