An open-source project does not measure its success by the number of passive users, but by the level of active contributions from the community.

Too often I see this attitude from people looking on open-source software as being no different from proprietary products from big companies. The most common symptom of this is when they complain about claimed deficiencies in the product, without stepping forward to offer fixes. Or sponsoring someone who can make those fixes.
