Interesting point re. part organizers who were particularly successful. I don’t have a great grasp of the anecdata here; I had a rough impression that some of the very successful ones also got relatively obsessive about understanding object-level areas, but that might be wrong.
(If you’re right, I’m also interested in whether they were the only people who had a serious/deliberate go at doing great outreach vs just doing it more passively; I’d update particularly if we had examples of people trying seriously to do say a 60⁄40 learning/outreach split and not getting far with the outreach.)
