Wonder how many of those ~1500 are active contributors/CA enthusiasts, how many attempt to collect existing knowledge, and how many are inactive due to LWTDS or otherwise.

Do you think we should set a goal ? Like Fifteen THOUSAND Members ?

In a world with population 8 Billion, even 15 MILLION seems trivial...

Probably because only the serious math/science/programming/engineering types will really "fit in" well ?

Or, as I suspect, are you thinking that we should try to improve, refine and perfect the Community Members,

till they become The Best Ever Life Enthusiasts ?

EDIT :

RE : LWTDS

if Dieter Leithner said so, well, he would know, for sure...

am still trying to get some help finishing his CGoL FONT

come on, Life Enthusiasts, it's for DIETER !

No I do not think it makes sense to strive to perfection. That would be misguided.

On the other hand I do not think it makes much sense to count registered user accounts and set related goals. That is also misguided.
This community is relatively small, and will likely remain small as long as it exists. (Although there are more people interested in cellular automata than just those registered here on this forum/wiki/discord.)

most graphic artists have not even discovered

have never even heard of cellular automata

but big screen TVs are getting bigger

and cheaper !

I do not believe this Academic Forum/Community

could handle a million members.

So who wants to help me create the WebSite

That Will.
