Certainly search volume has been going downhill for more than several years (http://www.google.com/trends?q=emacs), and yet I don't hear this issue being addressed here strongly enough. I hate to ask pedestrian sort of a question like this, but are there any efforts specifically to attract more users? Thanks.
