I guess whatever floats their boat is what's best for them.
I notice, from time to time, that some wikiprojects I run across have
become inactive. It's sad, really--almost like a memorial to once
might've been a tight-knit community. Even if it wasn't, still...
What should we do that about that? One thing I'm worried about is, is
the less collaborative ones more likely to become inactive? Should we
write an short paragraph in the signpost about any wikiproject that's
*just about* to go inactive? I know there's an article about
wikiprojects in every signpost.

We could, but you might also join one and see what you, and others, can
make of it. One project which is quite collaborative is the Arbitration
Committee, not that I'm suggesting that...

At one
extreme reviewing at [[wp:FAC]] is very interactive and in my
experience usually very collegial.
At the other extreme, when I'm feeling less sociable I find I can
while away hours eradicating preforming from the entertainment
industry or removing a surplus s to merge the Olympic sports of
synchronised ventriloquism and discus throwing.
Somewhere in between is newpage patrol, most new articles are
written by newbies who haven't mastered categorisation and wiki
format. If you install hotcat and try to categorise new articles
you'll soon find yourself collaborating with lots of editors.
True, true. It would makes sense that different parts of the
wikipedia need to have different levels of discussion.
What about wikiprojects? Are they very "collaborative", or do
they
serve only as assessment graders?

Articles on current events are commonly collaborative.
