I was wondering about this topic a couple of days ago... I too have
been
frustrated with the signal to noise ratio of the archive (and I am fully able
to admit my share [or more] of the noise). I am wondering if a candidate
system has been discussed for the archive? Its a little like reverse list
moderation... items are flagged (later, either by the OP or the primary
responder) for inclusion into the archive. A moderator reviews the flagged
posts and then updates the archive appropriately with topics that actually
provided resolution to a given problem. Even with correct use of the list,
there is probably a 60-40 signal to noise ration of regular technical
discussion and not all of it should merit the archive. Right?
