** Find 5+ bugs related to your project, and add them to your project wiki page
** CC yourself on two bugs that relate to your project
** Watch a user in bugzilla for the week and blog about the experience (best to choose someone else related to your project)
** Come up with some ways for others to contribute to your project and add them to your project wiki page. Remember, you're asking for help, so be clear about what you need done, and make it easy so that people will pick you vs. another project.
