About organizing categories

@andres.moya there’s some discussion specifically about hubs in this thread: Feature Wishlist / Brainstorm - #4 by DavidMGreen

I think one of the concerns that was raised was that if you use hubs as a primary category, then each hub as a subcategory, the hub won’t be able to create its own categories. (Discourse only lets you have two layers).

Strongly agree with limiting the number of categories. In addition to the needs you’ve identified, I might add:

  • Onboarding
  • WEAll News (new projects, monthly meetings, monthly talks, etc)

What was your thought on themes of interest? My concern is that so many of the topics are cross-disciplinary that it might get confusing for people where their posts should go. Another layer @Aamirah-WeAll and I were talking about is that you can also make categories that have specific group permissions. IE you could have specific groups for citizens vs members, or potentially categories for specific projects. This might be a good way to prevent category overload
