<p>I think it is a great idea. I'd like to add that</p>

<ul>
<li>We can extend the idea to anything related to <a href="http://eagereyes.org/blog/2011/information-visualization-vs-statistical-graphics" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Information Visualization vs. Statistical Graphics</a>, see also the discussion echoed on <a href="http://statisticsforum.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/robert-kosaras-infovis-example-illustrates-the-chris-rock-effect-a-pleasurable-intellectual-effort-spent-in-discovering-something-obvious-that-couldve-been-noticed-and-even-quantified-much-mor/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Statistics Forum</a> (brief thoughts, comments, etc.). We already collected some good links on this thread: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/103/what-is-your-favorite-data-visualization-blog">What is your favorite data visualization blog?</a></li>
<li>It can be based on past data viz. submitted here, but posts can also offer critical reviews of current (good and bad) practices for displaying statistical results (for descriptive purpose or more complex stuff). I would love to see something about Tukey's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_data_analysis" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Exploratory Data Analysis</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p>Further thoughts:</p>

<ul>
<li>We could think of <em>thematic issues</em>, in the spirit of this past JSM on the <a href="http://stat-computing.org/events/2010-jsm/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Use of Graphics in Clinical Trials</a>, where summary, opinions, or illustrations with various statistical packages would be welcome.</li>
<li>We could provide discussion about recent incorporation of new graphical displays in various software; it can be @Peter Flom's SAS <code>PROC SGPLOT</code>, for example, where the Scatter plot with ellipse is closely related to the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/7899/complex-regression-plot-in-r/7911#7911">question you linked to</a>. (More information can be found on his <a href="http://www.statisticalanalysisconsulting.com/using-the-sg-procedures-to-create-and-enhance-scatter-plots/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">webpage for NESUG 2011</a>.) Likewise, the newly released <a href="http://www.stata.com/stata12/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Stata 12</a> incorporates new graphical output.</li>
</ul>
