Shawn, (and other members of the group) You might be interested in a model that is used by the SPRUCE / Open Planets Foundation for capturing knowledge and best practices and encouraging collaboration. They include a couple of links back to NDSA activities.

Whatever the form, I think it should have a low threshold for participation and be as self-service as possible. Perhaps others know of examples?
