Just an idea, maybe not increasing, but potentially strengthening the community: an IRC chat. I'd say 2 channels, one for quick technical questions (eg. "How can I filter on the second column using awk"), one for "chitter-chatter".
Hosted either on a private server (pros: more control, less chance of a channel-takeover; cons: no real redundancy) or on one of the established networks (freenode/IRCnet/...) (pros: established infrastructure, nick registration; cons: less control).

ii(1) General Commands Manual ii(1)
NAME
ii - irc it or irc improved
DESCRIPTION
ii is a minimalistic FIFO and filesystem based IRC client. It creates an irc directory tree with server, channel and nick name directo-
ries. In every directory a FIFO file (in) and and normal file (out) is placed. This will be for example ~/irc/irc.freenode.net/. The in
file is used to communicate with the servers and the out files includes the server messages. For every channel and every nick name there
will be new in and out files. The basic idea of this is to be able to communicate with an IRC server with basic command line tools. For
example if you will join a channel just do echo "/j #channel" > in and ii creates a new channel directory with in and out file.
SYNOPSIS
ii [-s servername] [-p port] [-k password] [-i prefix] [-n nickname] [-f realname]
OPTIONS
-s servername
lets you override the default servername (irc.freenode.net)
-p port
lets you override the default port (6667)
-k password
lets you use a password to authenticate your nick on the server (be aware of the problem that this is visible in the process list,
if you don't want this use a query to submit your password)
-i prefix
lets you override the default irc path (~/irc)
-n nickname
lets you override the default nick ($USER)
-f realname
lets you specify your real name associated with your nick
DIRECTORIES
~/irc In this directory the irc tree will be created. In this directory you will find a directory for your server (default: irc.freen-
ode.net) in which the FIFO and the output file will be stored. If you join a channel a new directory with the name of the channel
will be created in the ~/irc/$servername/ directory.
COMMANDS
/a [<message>]
mark yourself as away
/j #channel/nickname [<message>]
join a channel or open private conversation with user
/l #channel/nickname
leave a channel or query
/n nick
change the nick name
/t topic
set the topic of a channel
Everything which is not a command will simply be posted into the channel or to the server.
So if you need /who just write /WHO as described in the RFC to the server in FIFO.
out file usage
Write wrappers, pagers or use your tools of choice to display the out file contents (loco, multitail, etc.).
CONTACT
Write to ii (at) modprobe (dot) de for suggestions, fixes, 7|-|>< ;) etc.
