There a big question about communities: How do you measure success and quality of a post?
How do I know whether the post I wrote today was better than the one I wrote yesterday?

Why does this forum have a so high ratio better users that are logged in vs people that aren't?

A programming topic that I think myself about is the find out what characteristics make people integrate themselves into a community.
Does a forum in which people have pictures is more effective then one that doesn't?
The programming solution would be to spider 1000 forums and run statistics tests on those questions. Afterwards you could write an ebook to summarize the results.
That might be a book that some internet marketers want to read.
