Thank you for invitation to this discussion.
First regarding to your words about logged in vs. active (posting) members ratio. Have you ever ponder It can origin from there are so many helpful topics here, so they simply found what they need and so it doesn’t found it necessary to write anything (except polite reply to your kind welcome message for new members)? It is only indication you are on the right way guys - the more helpful and solved topics are here the more “passive” members you get - be proud of you.
This community is one of the best I ever logged in to. All team here is very helpful and they are anticipating to reply to your post so sometimes you get the same response from 3 persons in the same moment
Some members are feeling uncomfortable because of lack of english. I don’t think this should be issue. Have you ever read some microsoft tech article when the webpage force you to read it “translated” to your native language? Awful. But if somebody like Microsoft can use this type of translation, why not you if you are not comfortable with english? Why should you feel ashame because of it if Microsoft not? I don’t think there is need for long essays, I suppose in most cases polite “Hello guys, I need help. I installed NS7, install this module, click here and get this error. Print screen and log attached. Please help. Thank you very much.” is enough. Trust me. Or you can use some pictures if not comfortable with english like @alefattorini do

You were talking about some how-to’s or wiki. Personally I like Mikrotik wiki - wiki.mikrotik.com
There are so many manuals and simply how-to’s like this one (for inspiration): http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/VPN_(any_type)_between_2_Mikrotik_routers_and_no_static_IP_addresses
