Tried to find a topic on this, but didn’t see anything easily. While there are share and invite buttons for topics, what if I want to invite users to create topics in a category? This could be particularly helpful for new categories that we need to build up some content for.
Anyone else find this interesting?

Probably I would create a topic in the category explaining what needs doing in the category, then invite people to that topic.

That works for us, but to encourage viral growth and the creation of community, I expect users would need a more obvious call to action to grow their community. Just a thought for a future feature. I was curious if anyone else thought it would be useful.
