I've been involved in a couple communities that have stepped back and reset. It's a difficult decision to make but ultimately the right one. Setting up a clear vision is usually the key and I think it's pretty clear with what you have outlined above. Expect to see me hovering around a lot more... I'm popping in and out of a couple of commuties... All very worthwhile and each focusing on quality over quantity, community building and engagement.

Looks like a good move.
