Or instead of a purely cooperative approach, consider something with a
competitive element.  We provide a ranking of topics/polls according
to vitality, where vitality is measured as the lateral extent of the
poll in terms of number of active communities.  View F still maps the
lateral extent of a single poll within its overall community space,
but now it also includes a heads up display of: *

  iii.  d) Historical development of vitality and vital rank.

    v.  Top 5 or so most vital polls, however many fit horizontally
        across the bottom of the screen.

So we harness competitive motivations (our boat to win) along with
cooperative ones (so lets work as a team).  We also give prominence to
the leading polls, so our most limited resource (motivation) is
tightly focused where it's most likely to succeed.
