I completely agree, I’ve thought this ever since I joined the EA movement in 2013, and think this space (among others) is exceptionally neglected.
Some public examples of work I’ve done in this space include thinking about how to improve funder, project, and volunteer/team coordination as well as providing specialized services to the community. Given that this is a neglected area with little time and money available for people to make progress on it, I think it’s no surprise that the space has “a large ‘graveyard’ of untried proposals or projects.” I think the presence of such a graveyard is fairly indisputable, and with the current way coordination is done in the community, the only path forward appears to be greater advocacy for this area to receive more time and resources and/or improving coordination specifically among people that see this as a gap, both in terms of idea sharing and collaboration, and in terms of securing funding.
I continue to be interested in this area, and anyone who’s interested in potentially collaborating is welcome to get in touch!
