I think a system where sites can somehow *nominate* questions for broader publicity would be helpful, but I don't think we want to repeat the mistakes SE made with hot network questions.  We've talked about this some but haven't done anything about it -- there are other features that we think are higher priorities for serving our communities.

Please (everybody), help us spread the word!  Users of our network -- the people who would see hot questions if we had them -- are still a relatively small population.  We'll probably reach more potential participants by (responsibly!) promoting our communities *outside* of this network.  Did you see an interesting question?  Tweet it or share it with your friends.  Did you write something interesting here?  Talk about it on your blog too (with a link).  Do you know people who have specific interests in the topics covered by our sites?  Talk with them directly.

Word of mouth is a powerful force and we can all help.  Also, if you're on Twitter, consider following [@CodidactQA](https://twitter.com/CodidactQA) -- and if you see interesting questions that deserve a wider audience, suggest them to that account.  We tweet interesting questions every now and then but we're not experts in all the topics here, so we don't always know what's interesting!
