It looks like the site's new design is going to launch soon maybe this week. This has been long in coming, so how are we going to celebrate?

We can conduct a celebration drive to clean up the house. Focus on Unanswered questions.
We have 154 with no answers, we can take a look;
- Some should be easy to answer given that I see similar question answered by experts here. Maybe they got missed when there were first posted and we haven't had the time to look back.
- Some can be closed I think
We have 34 questions with answers.
- The answers may just need upvote
I looked at some of them last week and collectively they should'nt be too difficult to square away.

4If the top ten posters each agree to take a bit of time to answer a few and bounty a few more, we'll make great progress. Feb 20, 2014 at 4:38

How about a
Contest!
There could be a variety of criteria (questions asked, answered, up-voted, shared, reviewed, etc.) to reach specified levels to enter prize draws. I'm thinking of something similar to contests held at other Stack Exchange sites like the contest at Ask Different, and at Super User, and at Arqade.
Won me a useful prize in one of those contests, and a T-shirt in another. Working my way up the leaderboard was especially fun!
Perhaps Stack Exchange Inc. and its community team could help with the mechanics necessary to run such a contest, and provide a budget (or willing sponsors!) for some prizes — books, financial calculators, software, etc.? :)

2Looking into this. We've done contests in the past that mostly aimed to get content generated. This particular one would need to just be all about us telling everyone that we wuv you and appreciate you waiting patiently, and have some fun. Ideas for mechanics?
tpost@stackoverflow.com- I'm all ears :D– Tim PostFeb 20, 2014 at 4:47
How about a
Festive Community Chat!
We can meet in chat, discuss the history of the site, and share clips of our favorite "financial advisers" being ridiculous.

1What's there to debate? It's advisor. My spell checker approved, it even puts a nice red line under it to emphasize how correct it is! I love seeing that line every time I sign my blog post:-D Feb 20, 2014 at 9:11
