I have a suggestion for a sub-forum. In the applications forum there are too many "best x" app threads, it can be hard to find the one you want with a regular search, and of course the "Favourite App" thread goes on forever. ;-)
I am suggesting a "Best App" sub-forum, the purpose of which would be to offer an organized collection of threads on a regular basis (once a day or a few times a week) asking for the best in a certain category of apps.
I envision something like the regular "Hive Five" feature on Gizmodo (you can see an example here if you aren't a regular Gizmodo reader: Five Best Online File Sharing Services - Online File storage - Lifehacker).
Each day, or every couple of days, as admin could create a thread asking for submissions for the best of a certain kind of app, for example "Best E-mail App". Commenters would nominate one or more of what they feel are the best apps in that category, with a brief reason why.
The next day, or x days later, an admin generates a list from the threads and creates a poll for actual voting, along with a brief description of each app in the poll (or the top x apps in the poll) along with links to the QR code for each on AndroLib or a similar site.
This could be an invaluable resource to users wanting to find apps for the phone, and not wanting to slog through the Applications forum looking for what they need.
I would be happy to help out as a mod in a sub-forum like this, and if you feel it is redundant, or unnecessary, I understand, just wanted to float the idea.
