In our "What's Right With AO" thread, Syini made this comment:

Another thing that I do think is right is the pool of brains to squeeze a bit of useful information out of; the problem I think that prevents that is a overall lack of direction and organization.
And that gave me an idea...Indeed, we have some super brains that only those of us "in the know" realize are here and available. So, why don't we set up a "Member Spotlight" on the front page that either weekly or monthly features a link to material posted (particularly good tutorials) by one of the great minds of AO. Heck, I think we have enough to where we could do it weekly. A TigerShark tutorial one week...TheHorse13 the next...An AcidRain tech support story the next...etc.

This would help point out to our newbies who the best people are to shoot questions at, and who the best are to learn from. For those always complaining that "back in the day" we had the real "masters" here, this would promptly silence them by showing who here does indeed know their stuff, and how many of them there really are.

Most importantly though, I think it would be good for those just getting acquainted with AO. It does take a while to figure out who's who, and this would help considerably, I think.
