I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to add a container to each Top-Level node (like a question in Seekers, or some posted code in Code) which would hold links to other nodes?

Advantages

• A reference can be provided to a node without posting a full reply.
• It allows fast 'jumping' to the better nodes without having to skim through all the replies.
• One immediately sees what the node really is about. Subjects may be confusing...

Disadvantages

• Takes extra space on the page, you'll have to use that page-down button more often
• ....(probably a lot more)

Implementation

• The link-container could look like the links in an everything node.
• Reputation/ quality system? I don't think such a system could do without some sort of quality check. I don't think it would be a good idea to use the XP system for that. Maybe linking should be only allowed to the higher levels (wouldn't know which ones). Maybe the linking should be suspect to it's own reputation system, even without XP bonus?? I really wouldn't know.
