Afraid it can't be done:  most development comes from volunteer time, and
volunteers can't be forced to do anything.  If some area is lacking, what it
needs is new volunteers who *want* to work in that area, and, indeed, want
to work in that area so much that they'll freely contribute a good part of
their lives to do so.
