I think it *works* exactly as it should, but it has been long neglected and there is so much stuff in there that it is hard to sort through it all. Plus I think having things that go back nearly a decade without being deemed worthy of picking seems a little sad. I favour retaining the most likely candidates and 'resting' some of the unlikely candidates back to the authors personal spaces. Then having a real push to see if we can get most of the better ones rehabilitated.
Maybe with a fresh start, and a new lick of paint it will not the the Cinderella of the Guide, but a functioning repository of good ideas.

It would be so useful if those which have already been rescued were removed from the Flea Market.

Just so that you know, we have three volunteers who have taken this duty on, and who are busy reading all of the hundreds of Entries in Flea Market, with a view to at the very least, removing the ones which are already Edited.
Deepest thanks to broelan, lil and minichessemouse to offering their services for this task.

I'll lend a hand too, but not tonight. A bit late to start into it!

naa... don't think it was taht one... it was far more recent than that... possibly end last year, beginning this, I spotted an entry in there, and thought I could quickly get it together into somethign to go into PR... then I got distracted by a bacon sandwich, or a cup of coffee or something, and now I can't remember how to go back and find it! 
hmmm...
