That's a great list.

Chris, what are your thoughts?

Hi Alexis,

Here are areas where we'd love to get help for Vitess:

- Help with marketing & PR. This is one area we're severely lacking.

- Advocacy through the ambassador program.

- Take over funding (and ownership) of vitess.io, vitess.slack.io, github repository, travis builds, and other CI & CD resources.

- Help with setting up governance.

I'm still working on the product comparison (distracted by the Percona conference). I'll try to get that done by next week.

Thank-you.  Those are good reasons!  Are there specific places where
you'd like help winning or keeping more contributors?

Look forward to your view on systems & tradeoffs.  Can I humbly ask
that you include Cockroach, Rethink & Goshawk?  Maybe others.
