It seems to me that this level of support and connection could be provided well and in a variety of languages by a support network (or a community body such as AffCom or the WCA), even today. > * Tech support for initiatives > * Layout/design support for education related activities > How do you feel the above worked for WLM this year, as an example?

Why do you feel this is a special problem for the US, compared to other archive-rich parts of the world - given the two regional chapters and numerous present and past Wikipedians in residence?
