On the IOTD front, what about some kind of a slightly-more-formal-than-anarchy procedure for queuing things? Right now it's sort of a first-come-first-serve-but-only-one-per-day jumble.
For example, I found this amazing set of photos today:

It's another weird spanish festival where they throw a specific vegetable at people, except instead of tomatoes it's turnips.
But I'm lacking the energy to make it all nice and IOTD-y. And there's already one posted today. And it's too early to post one for tomorrow. etc.
Maybe what I'm proposing is that there be an IOTD editor, to whom we could submit suggestions.
