I would think that sheer *pride* in doing the things that make SM different, and stand out from it's parents would be the biggest motivator and driver to keeping those things alive, working properly, and improving...I thought that was what "volunteerism" was all about - not accolades. Or maybe, much like many big projects which collapse it's just plain gotten too big and is collapsing under it's own weight...maybe there are "too many" people working on it, and no consensus or direction can be had?
If you've ever worked in a large organization, you'll know that different people have different motivations and hot buttons. Some people are most productive if you stroke them, some are most productive if you scold them, some are most productive if you leave them alone, and so forth. Pride is a common motivator, but not the only one. A successful manager will find what works for each person and push that button.
