I hope this bit of introspection from tsvenson over at drupal.org (Wake up community – WordPress.org should scare you!) gets some traction. He makes some excellent points about how the drupal.org experience is likely to scare away anybody but the most hardy self implementers. I believe that the system is worth the effort, but acknowledge that it does take a huge amount of effort to bridge the gap from considering an install and actually doing one. Drupal 7 has made some good improvements in being easier to use as a novice, but if people are scared away when they try to play with it… where are they going to go? (and yeah… my blog is … in wordpress…)
