I think the logical next step is to translate the sequences into a book or several books of some kind. I vaguely remember EY talking about something about writting a book on rationality, but I could be mistaken. This might make LW very good at recruiting new members compared to now it the book is successful and well read for years to come.
Everyone who's actually read the sequences - and that's a lot of reading, too much for almost any casual reader - should try summarising and condensing them themselves for their own circle of net-friends. That's how to get a meme out there. You'll be a hell of a lot more convincing to people you know if you're saying something than if you point to someone else saying something.
Eliezer is writing the Sequences into a rationality book, but I agree with David Gerard's suggestion that LW readers should try summarizing his ideas in their own words. This could be an important topic for discussion here on LW: making sure that some of the core ideas discussed on this site aren't lost in translation.
Yes, that's being done.
