More ideas:
- What's on your To Do List?
- What kind of records on your Research Map are marked "Here Be Dragons"?
- What are some of your "wow" records (that you were really excited to find)? [Topic for 1/11/2014]

I'd also like to see a series of hosted discussions (not necessarily part of the weekly chat) on technical topics. For instance -- last weekend while I was hanging out in chat and working in another window, I did a Google search on persona records and ended up reading a lot of blog posts and forum discussions written by participants here on G&FH.se. Could we do something like a Reddit Ask Me Anything where a volunteer makes him/herself available for questions? The software developers could sound off about their software, I could talk about how my linguistics experience has informed my family history research, and so on. Obviously a person couldn't hang out the entire 24 hour chat window but they could be there for a few hours, and people could leave questions which could be answered later as time permitted. I think the Reddit AMAs are a couple of hours.
