I decided to create a new thread for discussion after seeing Baronic's post here at this thread.
Why not form a committee of people whom you personally know (and can vouch for) to be good, reliable contributors? They can help you to be your eyes and ears.

There are a lot of good posts and ideas in CC, but unfortunately the whole thing lacks structure and a lot of ideas get lost in traffic, so it's inevitable that people have to keep posting the same thing again and again.

I believe that stickies are a good way to overcome this problem. Perhaps there could be a thread with a free flowing discussion, followed by a sticky thread where positions, arguments and points are summarised by the contributor, linking back to the original discussion?

Discussion is good but there are clear limits to what they can achieve. I think that it's time where forumers are given the option of just reading and digesting well written points of views in order to form their own insights.

If we're serious about providing quality input, then we have to give some thought into providing form and structure to our point of views... the one thing I've observed that is lacking in CC so far.

Just two cents off the top of my head...

P.S: I have more thoughts but I want to see the reception to this thread before I proceed with posting and developing them.
