I'd be interested in research methods. How does everyone go about researching what you need to know for your novel? Does anyone have good books or websites that they rely on for research? Especially historical research? What about naming characters appropriately to time period? Things like that. Possibly a "does anybody know anything about ____?" thread?

Also, brainstorming or prompt ideas would be interesting to share. Maybe some prompt challenges?

I'm just throwing things out here. They may not be the type of topics you are looking for.
