#All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Part of the long-term success of StackOverflow has been the ability/allowance for occasional on-topic silliness. Letting new users relax and get involved with a light thread helps introduce them to the community here without any burden on them.

One of my successful threads there (with 535 up-votes and 260 answers) is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/182112/what-are-some-funny-loading-statements-to-keep-users-amused

I propose that every weekend we have a few less serious community wiki threads. Of course we don't want to go overboard (too frequent or too silly) but regular and predictable. And they would have to be Ubuntu-related.

I thought I'd lead by example on this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/3553/if-apt-get-from-2020-existed-what-one-project-would-you-install

If you think it's a rubbish idea, downvote the thread (it doesn't cost you anything to dv a community wiki IIRC) and pending a negative score (or a stern talking to from our mods), I'll delete the thread and we'll say no more on the matter.
