A couple months ago we ran a story asking the SoylentNews community for volunteers to help with editing and the community did not let us down; we received a full dozen inquiries! You've probably noticed a few new names art the top of the stories and quite frankly, their contributions made it possible for the staff to survive the holiday season — many, many thanks!
If, for whatever reason, you did not want to be an Editor, but still wish to contribute, there are many other areas:
There are many rewards for contributing. Just to be a part of such a diverse and knowledgeable team is indescribable. I have learned so much from some amazingly helpful people. So join up as an editor, submit stories and comments, moderate, or help the site to keep running.
Lastly, spread the word. Share a link to the main page, to a particular story, or even to a single comment.

As long as we're on the topic, it is probably overkill to offer the text in the logo "Soylent News ...is people!" and then immediately thereafter the subtitle (in text) "SoylentNews is people".
Were I to make a precise recommendation about it, I would drop the "...is people!" from the logo, and then continue to offer the subtitle. The logo feels very 80s/90s also, which may or may not be a bad thing, though I can't help wonder whether such things, along with the 'traditionalist' feel (read: lack of javascript splattered all over) if we're not actually a little off-putting to certain groups of people.
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!

Since Schneier was there first, could we maybe change the content to ``SN''? Or use a new color? Or something? [Speaking for a small group, but hopefully with more than one member.]

Maybe, dunno who has the original SN artwork we make everything from right now. For now, switch themes. They pretty much all have different colored favicons. Plus I wrote quite a lot of them so there is much awesome to be found. Okay, mostly it's just different colors. Pretty colors though.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
