I’d like to build an organisational structure as this forum grows. (I just can’t help myself.) So already we have posts on:
Making a new system.
Questions about versioning things.
And these feel like topics that will come up again. I’d like to link them together somehow. I don’t think ‘Categories’ is what we want, plus I don’t want the poster to have to decide where a thing goes, I want (anyone) to be able to link this stuff together later.
I see Discourse has a ‘Tags’ feature. Anyone used it? I suppose I could just turn it on and find out.
Otherwise I just create some meta-posts and within those posts we can link to other comments. That feels a bit more flexible to me, allows for some additional commentary, and is maybe a bit more discoverable?
I love the idea of adding J.D numbers to the category names. I don’t know how actually useful it would be, but it sure is fun.
However, I worry about a proliferation of categories causing confusion. I’m in several forums which have way too many categories and it makes it difficult when posting, especially for newcomers. Food for thought, anyway.
