I actually found that thread near the beginning of my time on CD, and bookmarked it, so it's surely helpful

You mention that you have <10 committed members. Do you also have what I'll refer to as "transient" student members? IOW, those that show up from time to time and really aren't 100% committed? If so, how do you engage them to make the maximal use of their effort, even though it might be limited, and try to convert them to committed members?
