The best way to increase participation is to jump right in and follow these two rules:
1. Don’t make it/take it personal
2. Don’t be an a$$
Simple as that. As a noob, prepare to piled on because, well, that’s how we do it ‘round these parts...

Intuitive.
If you WANT to KEEP visitors, expecting them to figure everything out... to jump right in... this is NOT the most effective technique.

It also helps to keep particularly geeky ideas to yourself for a while - like maybe forever.
