I get a lot of ideas to increase the number of contributors, some of them..
1. Organizing Unix/Linux trainings in different places with the help of our existing contributors, and attracting more users.
2. Always, the number of readers ( reads answers ) and writers ( contributors ) ratio is 95:5 .. which has to be increased by letting them realize that, "when some answers saves your lot of time, you have to contribute back in any way as it is a time of other who investigated a lot and came up with the answer for you ...
3. as suggested above.. get tie up with some big bloggers -- which can benefit both the side. Post some interesting news/investigation and link to here...
4. i answer here for unix/linux stuffs... but i read and understand a lot of new things because of this.. thats why i continue to be here... ( how about rephrasing this, and putting it as a banner ?!
)
Will continue...
---------- Post updated at 21:41 ---------- Previous update was at 21:31 ----------
and obviously, allow posts without logging in...
many a times many people want to post and hide their identification ( because of various reasons ), and get answer !!! ( including me ), so why not allow them ??
may be, they dont have the time to register ?!
do you want a proof for that, many of you might know perlmonks, a very famous forum which allows users to post without logging in. when you post without logging in, it will come under the user anonymous monk, and right now there is 52700 posts ?! refer Anonymous Monk
yes, then there has to be a lot of restrictions on how to deny spam in that ... kind of things.. we may also follow something similar as pm which is approve posts, which any eligible user can do. so what do you say ?

UUID(3) Libuuid API UUID(3) NAME
uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library SYNOPSIS
#include <uuid/uuid.h> DESCRIPTION
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system. This library generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen. The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash. CONFORMING TO
OSF DCE 1.1 AUTHOR

libuuid is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. SEE ALSO
