Is there any interest in having a monthly thread where we re-post links to old posts/comments from LW? Possibly scoped to that month in previous years? i.e, each comment would look like
It’s pretty easy to go back and look through some of the older, more popular posts—but I think there were many open thread comments or frontpage posts not by Yvain / Eliezer that are starting to slip through the cracks of time. Would be nice to see what we all remember.
I think it would be great! Also, a lot of work. I wonder what would be the optimal number of links per post. Probably more than a dozen, but less than one hundred.
It would be even greater if the links in the same post would have something in common, for example “all historical highly upvoted LW posts about decision theory”. But that would be even more work. I think it would be nice to have something like this in wiki, but “do it as an article first, wikify later” seems like a good strategy; it would also allow debate by focusing everyone’s attention on the topic at the same time.
I’m feeling nostalgic.
