"Sleepers" might turn out to be even better than whatever latest new Crunchy Berry Coin of the Day, because New Coin of the Day tends to get jumped on by lots of hashing power, making it rapidly unsuitable for the little guy.
"Sleepers" though are coins the guys with the big farms have forgotten about, dismissed as beneath their notice, or even attacked then dismissed them as "dead".
Some of the "sleepers" went months at a time with just small populations of people using CPUs mining them, though lately with more GPU people looking for alternatives I don't think any of them that I am aware of has no GPUs at all mining them at this moment.
At any moment though the GPU folk might dismiss them again from their minds, leaving them for another few months as nice cheap easy coins for CPU miners to pick up quietly while everyone else has forgotten about them.

New coins should have its advantage, new features, strong security, or financial supported (like USD is supported by gold). Otherwise, who will want to mine for it?
That'd be a pretty bad idea..a new one every week would not only flood the market for crypto-currencies , but itd lead to alot of them being weeded out anyway. If the market is content with alt coins like NVC, LTC, PPC, and TRC, but not FRC, then so be it. That and, there wouldnt be much value to these alt coins if there were SO many of them. Though i have to admit, I am excited to see if a new, promising alt coin pops up, being that I came so late in the crypto-currency game. 
When will we see some new coins being released I am excited to see more 0% premined scrypt & SHA-256 coins! I say start a new one every week.
