Contributing to the Network

This week there is a thread in the Moodle forum for CCK09 asking where all the people have gone. Reading this made me re-evaluate my participation in the course.
I have found this course to be a bit more intimidating to participate in since it is so large and a number of people actively contributing seem to know so much about the subject already. But that shouldn't stop me! That is precisely what I should want right? I want a network with different views and discussions. That is the only way I will learn... if I connect with different nodes of the network.
So, I have come up with a plan that will hopefully get me participating more actively.

1. Every day I must post at least one thing to either the Moodle forum or on someones blog
2. Each week I must post at least one blog entry
   
3. I should check the Twitter feeds on #CCK09 more often
   
4. I should post things I find regarding CCK09 on Twitter

I forget that building a network and maintaining a network is time consuming. I get so involved in the weekly readings and catching up on the Daily that I forget what their purpose is... to start dialogue.
Any other ideas are appreciated.
