I noticed today the opportunity to gain a single point on a Q&A. I am trying to get a Knowledge Management forum going. So far, we have seven communities within a small area of the organisation with discussion forums and areas in which to post documents of interest, events, etc. The use of this facility is not as active as I would like. If anyone has any ideas to increase contribution, I would be most grateful. As this is an opinion based question, I am happy to give the first 20 sensible suggestions the 150 points offered.

Sometimes the best technique is to make it worth someones time. I believe that basically individuals respond best to situations that benefit them in some regard.
Maybe it's additional recognition, or maybe they wish to host a discussion in their area of expertise. It varies.
One suggestion:
Invite someone to host a discussion/forum on information management practices and who is considered a authority or innovative in todays market.

Just keep doing what you are doing but let people in the Q7A section know more about where and how it will be kept going. Utilize some of the free webspace out there if you also need a place for your forum.
Good luck and hope to see you there someday:)

try putting the best list up. people with the best idea or helpfull idea. this may not sound good at first but as it goes along suggest the folks with the most good or helpfull ideas can be helpers and power users. this will let them teach and help others to make more suggestions. most people dont like to be in the spot light.

1) Introduce some sorts of recognition mechanism: like points system here or..
2) Sorting the Q&A; into different kinds of topics or time, closed or open. So that people can search for their needs. compile some into articles for further reading.
3) Introduce to some of the good respondents here. I mean where is your forum and make some promotions.
