I've taken to using the "mark all as read" option in Architecture a lot because I never really have time to beta test holds -- but I feel I could still be useful in answering Architectural questions. I'm wondering if we couldn't perhaps split the board. or else make a little icon for public-beta holds or something?

An icon would be a rather good idea, it works well. Personally, I don't beta test on the Architecture boards (prefer private beta), but some of the work on there is very promising.

It's just a shame so much of it goes unfinished

I'm not sure that going unfinished is a trait that's strictly confined to holds on the Architecture board. Although it's probably more prevalent there, to be sure.

I think an icon of some sort would be a very good idea. I always used to avoid the Architecture board, but lately I've really been enjoying seeing what people do with it.

Then you just need to get people to use it!

more to the point: it's more visible there.
