As I stated in committee today, I think the “off-topic discussion” category should be removed, as it invites noise. But what categories might we add to replace it? @zenparsing suggested an announcements category. I think a category where we can post questions about participation or unsolicited advic…

I’m currently creating sub-categories in the Proposals category for the various stages. Is that enough, or should we think about creating sub-categories for the more chatty individual proposals as well?

how do you feel about the new description of the “Ideas” category? does it need more? do we need another category altogether?

I think categories for stages could become problematic as proposals advance stages. How would we manage moving the conversations? How would this work with archiving?

the moving part is easy enough: any admin (or maybe admin/moderator?) can move them. i think the “Proposals” category will be way too congested without some manner of sub-category. more than happy to hear other ideas or suggestions.

I don’t think the act of moving is the hard part, it’s identifying all of the threads related to a proposal and moving them after each advancement. And whose responsibility is it to do that? The chair group?

If this is a better place to have discussions than the proposal repo, perhaps a 1:1 correspondence of proposal repo to proposal category? ie one per proposal rather than grouping by stage

Totally an option. I don’t think this is necessarily a better place to have discussions than the proposal repo. I’m not here to make hard rules about where we can discuss what. at least not yet I think time will tell as we get accustomed to the moderation/discussion systems here vs GitHub what is w…

hi friends, i haven't abandoned this cause, just was needed more on other tasks for a while. i'm definitely of the opinion that categorization needs to be a little better before i pop over to esdiscuss and ask everyone to try this out. if part of the point was to make this a more manageable convers…

Various thoughts: Seems like Intl deserves a category. For proposals, I think we already tend to view them as implicitly grouped so it's probably a matter of making those groupings explicit. OOP (or Classes) and RegExp seem like good, clear ones. Built-ins might be a bit too coarse-grained, but th…

What about a How Do I category with a Spec Reading subcategory?

What should the categories be?

@yulia I'll leave it to you to write a category intro. First 200 characters or so will show on main categories page. Experiments 101
