After many weeks of discussion and work at the Saturday Circle, hereâs the most recent proposal for overhauling the category design of this forum. Thanks to the whole crew that created, discussed and reviewed the various proposals @Sam_Martyn @LLK @richjensen @tamimulcahy
IMPORTANT: This proposal is primarily focused on establishing new overarching âparentâ categories for the forum, not setting in stone all subcategories that will be within those parent categories. Subcategories are more flexible and can change with time.

Initiatives
*The initial purpose of the Initiatives category would be to explore possibilities for how the category could function:
The idea: by a to-be-determined process, a Topic could become a point of action. It would be moved/rewritten and added to the Initiatives category. In this space it would have higher visibility and an opportunity to get the attention of all co-op members in the Forum. If an Initiative gets a certain degree of votes and/or measurable support from members (see political initiatives), then it would become a Resolution. Resolutions are presented to all co-op members for a vote to be formalized as co-op policy. Unlike most other categories, discussion and polls in this space would be limited to co-op members).
- Itâs a good foundation for the future; letâs do it!
- It could be improved, but is worth implementing now rather than waiting.
- There are problems that must be addressed before implementation. [add explanation below]
- There are problems with this design that will be hard to fix after implementation. [add explanation below]
- This design is fundamentally flawed and will create more problems than it solves. [add explanation below]
