My 0.02$ as well... Gilles's suggestion is a good one to try. In addition to that, I took a quick look at the XAP mailing list, and I guess that, Instead of creating tons of JIRAS, the committers could start sending a short e-mail describing the problem, or describing a new feature ? As a user, a descriptive e-mail would probably catch my attention much easier then a JIRA, and after you have the user attention, it's much easier to have the user engage on the discussion.
Also, advertise, advertise, advertise... with blog, articles, posts on sites like serverside, infoQ, etc >It would help me if someone could help me understand how to make XAP >more appealing and interesting to the Apache community.
