I am primarily a Scala developer nowadays, but am drawn to Fantom due to its simplicity, emphasis on usable standard libary, and tools (ie module system, etc.). I'd love to be able to convince people at work to try it out, and to build on top of it. So, I'm wondering...
What are the plans to increase awareness of the language and increase adoption?
Is there any plans to put an official FanR repo on fantom.org itself? I imagine that would help the ability of library writers to put up modules.
thanks, Evan

This is a community charge. We each to need to promote. But the best way IMO is to simply release code. We need to build the ecosystem of libraries written in Fantom. This is easier than ever today with sites like BitBucket and GitHub. An official Fantom repo is critical as well. And until we have that hosted here, @tcolar has the next best thing:

The more interesting projects get built with Fantom, the more people we are going to attract.
