More frequent open threads and quotes threads would be handy.

Dorikka_sleepy disagrees with the quotes bit. Open threads are where active discussions take place and are often better places for people to put their contribution than as a new thread in discussion, where quotes threads function more as repositories. While it would be good for repositories to be more easily accessible, I'm not sure that making a new repository thread more often would have a positive impact.

Discussions break out fairly often on the quotes threads, and threads are unwieldy if they're longer than three or four hundred comments, or if there's there's a deep enough stack of comments that the "continue this thread" link appears.
