I certainly hope it was not insulting. The ONLY thing I said about, 
specifically, Marks idea was:

I agree - but I don't agree that your proposal fulfills the "easy", at

In deed, the rest was an imaginarium of the non-existent but it is my 
assessment of *reality *- i.e what would be *required *if we expect a 
solution where the community curates things AND that it sustains, i.e that 
people continue to do it not just for a month but onwards.

BTW, here is a more realistic idea, simply because it is less demanding 
Maybe someone has suggested it already, I have no idea:

Anyone adds tags to the threads in their posts, in the form of 
distinguishable keywords. E.g this thread hereby gets the tag #foobar. Done.

Unfortunately, that most obvious prefix (#) is not significant in search, 
i.e if you search for #foobar you'll get search results for merely foobar. 
Not even searching for "#foobar" (i.e within quotes) helps. So it'd have to 
be another distinguisher, but you get the point. Anyone more ambitious 
could then add such tags to anyone elses thread, by making a new post with 
only those tags. Anybody know some character or super-easily-typed string 
that the search mechanism can distinguish?

Such a solution would at least be semi-realistic in the longer run. Only 
some individuals would do it but not as few as something that is more 
demanding. A big downside is that if I found some ol' goodie and just want 
to tag it to increase it's findability, this will also push that old thread 
to forum top, out of the blue and without necessarily having any real new 
info.

So far, my hopes are for the coming Github discussion feature. We might 
even have a chance to affect its functionality by requesting stuff, since 
it is brand new so they probably listen more than what GG admin does.

P.S Since you bring up my own plugins - I try to prefix the subject line 
with "Presenting:" for this very reason. It is not fully consistent and, 
especially, I didn't do it before I started doing it ;-)  Plus I 
occasionally announce something that is not official by merely linking to 
it inside a post because I thought it still contributed to the context of 
the discussion, so such posts of mine would of course not be easily 
findable.
