+title: Outliers from our Archives
+contributors: Kartik Agaram

+
+We have a ton of great stuff in our archives. A wiki is a good place to surface the gems. I don't know what that should look like, but here's a very rudimentary early attempt.
+
+There's often overlap between these lists, and I only list a thread in one list in these situations. (But I include stats where they could show up in multiple lists)
+
+Some of these (particularly early) threads are chopped up across multiple threads when someone posted up top rather than in a comment. Feels like the sort of thing we could clean up in a wiki.
