People are submitting ideas to many sites, but nowhere are the ideas rolled up into on "my great ideas" capacity. XMLRPC. (Suggested in user feedback).
Perhaps the site could use a "slogan" or "tag line" to help explain what it does? Here are some possibilities;
* "Where good ideas go to live"

Syntheses of best ideas, including trends, could be on the blog as well as sent as a monthly newsletter.

Hold a monthly competition for best ideas in different topics, perhaps with cash or donation prizes.
Use GoodIdeas.org to generate good ideas for t-shirt slogans and then market them. Revenue can help support the site.
