I don't know if its my place to make a suggestion, but I think it would be a good idea to have a stickied thread called "April Recaps" (or "May Recaps", etc.) and post a link to the recap each time one is posted. That will remind people that there is content there and allow people to make insightful and supportive comments conveniently.
I wouldn't post a thread for every recap, but a monthly one seems manageable.
