I think Tyler meant the education collection itself, not the archive as a whole. (But BTW, first datestamp on this collection page is 8/5/2005.) ;)

Here's one on my wishlist for you: User-added tag clouds, not just uploader-added keywords (which are often poorly chosen even for their own items). Anyone know say, a third-party app that Archive engineers could maybe tack onto here? A last.fm or delicio.us type functionality would be super-cool. (I know it's been discussed in the past, but hasn't happened yet.)

The "embed this" feature was a nice new addition recently here!

Check out freesound's setup. I am sure Bram would point you in the right direction code wise.

Might I also suggest that when someone signs up for a "new" account that a conformation from a valid email address be MANDATORY to avoid the trolls from creating countless logins. Making them create new emails would at least slow them down, kinda like the waiting period for buying a pistol when you are still pissed off, ya know?
