I know Wynn and his sense of humor, and I can see how easy it might be to totally miss his comedic tone with the loaded title and seemingly "preechy" top 10 list. When/if you meet him, you will know what I mean after a few minutes into a good chat with him. I will say though, that Wynn does contribute to Open Source - we all do at The Changelog. He also did apologize in the opening sentence of the first paragraph for the "loaded headline" as a hat tip to Mashable for an article they posted two years ago titled, "FOLLOW FAIL: The Top 10 Reasons I Will Not Follow You in Return on Twitter". It's Wynn's character to reference and relate, but I can see how that could be missed. It's hard to "hear" someone's tone in plain text, especially when you are quickly scanning a top 10 list. This post was more about concrete ways to build community around your code and things you can do to promote your open source projects.
