But I do want to point out and compliment how set up this group is to not just grow the population of hack-literate men/women, but to shape/influence HOW a population learns/becomes hack-literate.. I guess I'm speaking largely to the mission aspect of the community. It's very fun for anyone to try - and rewarding for those who are determined. It's also like a ladder, or a path, or anything that means something is done with certain constraints and milestones are made in a certain order.
If traffic is what you want, then surely word-of-mouth promotion is something you want, so one of many potential directions to take could be installing more Mentor-based roles, or anything that not only encourages traffic, but something that catches the higher influx of needy newbies and time wasting wannabes, without necessarily pushing them away.
Also, a more extensive project: teach people to hack at a deeper level. All of the current levels use exploits on the application layer (http, sql, php), but there are so many exploits on the transport layer (TCP/UDP) and on the network layer (IP/ICMP). The Session layer (SOCKS) probably also contains some exploits.
You'd need to reserve some separate server and domains for this (or use IP's). versio.nl offers .eu domains for €0.50 a year.
