Hi Mike,
Categoroes are global. There is another tool in the toolbox, and that’s Tags. So we can keep the categories limited and use multiple tags to make searches effective, e.g. Category = Projects, tags can be N26, Deck, Windlass, Moisture etc.
Whether to have posts reviewed or moderated is another issue. I think we are heading toward having wiki posts jointly developed and tagged.
There was a discussion about a possible set of tags - scroll down a bit -
Circling back - task one is to get more people and postings on Discourse so that the future direction is clear.

One qualifier to add about “global” categories. We can set up categories and sub-categories and restrict them to members of a Group, so if regional groups want there own category, and chat group, we can do that.
