Nigel did some great articles for Linux Journal, too. For example, his sample project using XUL to make a process status viewer, a GUI ps, is a really useful intro to XUL. And the readers always appreciate when an author does a good reply to a letter to the editor, which Nigel did. I never met him in person, as is the case with most authors, but he was always informative and fun to work with.

When you talk about building a community around a project, the best possible meaning of that is to have a few people like Nigel use it.
