We have tried, through various means (articles, stickies, links to resources, contests) to spur activity along those lines, but it's up to the membership to pick up what we're laying down.
What do you suggest we do to encourage it more?
My suggestion is, everyone write as much as they can and submit it for discussion. Without participation, not much is going to happen.
that's a good point Dave. it's definitely a demand-side issue.
