I'll be AFK for most of the day but here's my thoughts on a QotW:
I like the idea as an every once-in-awhile kind of thing (maybe monthly). My concerns are these: 1) A blog that regurgitates the site doesn't add much value IMO. There's already a newsletter and a "hot" questions view if you just want to be kept appraised of the recent questions. If this was our go-to filler option, my thinking is the last few entries of the blog home page would be filler. Does seeing that content encourage others to contribute to the blog?
Maybe, if the asker/answerers got positive feedback.
I think it works on SuperUser, they have a huge question base AND they typically fill out the entry with more data. I've struggled to look at our best answers and figure out how to make them more informative.
The filler as impediment to more content concern was supposed to be a bullet point #2. :) Need more coffee.
@Tester I had half-heartedly hoped that the blog lull would be noticed and commented upon and lead to greater action. I appreciate the meta question and @lqlarry's new article. I feel like I screwed up as well by shooting that lovely queue out in 3 straight weeks - we really have to go to a biweekly schedule for the near future.
Ok, that's my two cents. I think we can come up with something useful if we poke at this idea awhile. I'll check back in this evening.
Oh and I'm willing to do the Question of the Indeterminable Time Period entry as long as it's not a weekly commitment.
I think we can turn the Community wiki tools list question into an entry if we can think of what to add.
