For a while now I haven’t followed the Type-ID section at all. One reason is that helps me spend less time on Typophile, but another is that I feel inadequate in the company of the planet’s best font hounds! But I have noticed (through the [old] search facility) that some ID threads evolve into quite interesting discussions, ones I’d love to be exposed to. And I suspect a few others are in my position, so I have a suggestion:

Could we have a Best of Type-ID compilation? It would include threads with juicy discussion but also exceptional cases of font sleuthing, and maybe great humor, etc. Assuming Yves is willing to spend any time on something like this, what would reduce his load a lot would be if people (especially the pack of alpha hounds*) nominated memorable threads, or even divvied up chronological chunks** of all the ID threads and went through them. It could be a long-term thing, as people have the time.

* In fact one of the alphas could be the project kahuna instead of Yves.

** You could give me a chunk too.
