That was a failed attempt to say, "We learn by doing."
Maybe more correct sentence would be:
vay' mata'DI' maghoj
>> jabbI'IDghomDaq ghItlhnIS ghaH qar'a'?

Is {ba'} in {qeqnISlu'ba'} a typo or is there something I am missing?

{yI} is an object prefix for you-plural. Isn't that what I want?

I was going for, "Encourage him to write to the list." I thought the
translation would turn out to be "Encourage him that he writes to the
list." I don't follow your fix though. "Encourage ones who transmit." ???
How about this sentence:
jabbI'IDghomDaq labmeH ghaH yItungHa'
"Encourage him (for the purpose of, so that) he transmits to the list."
