While some/all/most of these suggestions are quite good, one must keep in mind who is going to have the time to update and manage the site, and even to create the content. It's no good saying we will do x and y and z, and then finding it's done in an ad hoc manner, or not even at all.<BR>

it should be easy for different linguistic communities, if they so chose, to build and maintain their own versions, with a 'click here' button at the top for Chinese or Spanish or whatever<BR>

Hello<BR>
<BR>
Sivasubramanian's proposals are exhaustive.<BR>
And I'll add that we include a "Quote of the Day" in which the forum<BR>
administrators highlight a landmark statement made by a participant of<BR>
the Forum during the a day. This alone can incite more visits to the<BR>
site as well.<BR>
