@chl answers to that question seem to focus on removing space between items... – Seamus Apr 06 '11 at 11:32

With the enumitem package, you can add more space between items as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[itemsep=5em]
\item Foo
\item Bar
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
An itemsep of 5em is obviously insanely big, but it shows what can be done.
If you want the change to be global (i.e. apply to all lists) then you could instead add \setitemize{itemsep=5em} to your preamble. But with a sensible itemsep, obviously.

7And if you need all lists of that type to have the same spacing you can use
\setitemize{itemsep=5em}etc. – Alan Munn Apr 06 '11 at 11:31 -
@Alan Ah thanks. Good point. Didn't think about globally changing it... – Seamus Apr 06 '11 at 11:33

According to
enumitem's manual,\setitemizeis deprecated in favor of\setlist[itemize]. – Raphael Oct 13 '11 at 19:56 -
@Raphael Thanks for this! I still have the debian TL09, so my old version of
enumitemdoesn't work if I do\setlist[itemize]{…}but in newer versions this will work. – Seamus Oct 20 '11 at 16:40
