Interesting. It occurs to me that there are a variety of compatible communities out there with quite a bit of overlap with LW - Wikipedeans, Open Source software geeks, even PUA. But most of them already have a community infrastructure in place - members of those communities already know where to go.
Two communities that I might be interested in joining (as a lurker, at first) might be bloggers and free educational material authors. Does anyone know whether these communities have focal web-sites?
One thing that LW could do is to have a resource page on our wiki providing links to resources associated with causes and service communities.
Another one I just ran into: Project Gutenberg and related ebook initiatives.
Oh, Project Gutenberg and Distributed Proofreaders are definite good causes, and the sort of thing one can do in one's spare time as one feels like it - like Wikipedia. Not sure they have fantastic leverage, though making good stuff available and (the leverage) making it seem more normal for reading materials to be free content are both good things. PGDP is probably a more productive brain relaxation than Sudoku. (Though I still pick up the Sudoku and haven't proofread anything in years.)
