- I liked [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278765#answer-278765) where some external program was used to keep track of interested users. Generally, you would divide interested users in three groups:
- - Potential moderators.
- - Core users.
- - Casual users.
- Core users would be enthusiasts who badly want to launch this community and/or veteran users from similar communities in the past. Domain experts might also count belong to this group.
- Ideally you'd want at least 10 core users + potential mods, probably far more. At what extent "x" number of casual users is also needed, I'm not sure, but all activity is good.
- Expect around 50% who declare interest to drop out and never show up. Which is why it would be nice to have an opt-in email notification for those who declared interest, so that when the site goes live, they do show up.

- I think naming (temporary) moderators before the site is started would help a lot in getting things up and running.
