One suggestion I've heard several times is a kind of cross-area buddy system (e.g., ask or assign someone with clue in Area X to help WG Y in Area Z early and often with regard to specific issues that are often addressed in Area X). Unfortunately, this suffers from the same problem that too many WGs suffer from on their own: participant burnout. But I still think it's a good idea...
