So, from the 7 upboats, I take it that people in general approve of this idea. What’s next? What do we do to make this a reality?
Looking back at an old post from OB (I think), like http://lesswrong.com/lw/od/37_ways_that_words_can_be_wrong/ I don’t see any option to promote it to the front page. I thought I had enough karma to promote other peoples’ articles, but it looks like I may be wrong about this. Is it even currently technically possible to promote old articles?

Agree on the numerical value of X? LW has slowed down a bit recently, compared to relatively recent periods with frantic paces of posting; I rather appreciate the current rhythm. It would take a long period without new stuff to convince me we needed “filler” at all.

Only editors can promote. (Installing the LW codebase locally is fun: you can play at being an editor.)
Alright. How about a week? If nothing new has shown up for a week, then I don’t think people will mind a classic. (And offhand, I’m not sure we’ve yet had a slack period that long.)

Sounds good to me.
