Discussion board taxonomy?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 12:23 AM
So now that we have a more flexible back-end, with a true discussion board, what do we do with it? Do we create a forum similar to BrightHand & Pocket PC Passion, with forums for each Pocket PC? Or do we allow people to post to the front page forums like HARDWARE and SOFTWARE, and continue using the taxonomy that we have now?
The advantage of the former is that we keep the "front page" content separate from the discussion board content, which makes it easier for you to find things later on. The "public" site can evolve into whatever you want it to.
The advantage of keeping the current taxonomy is that we end up with a smaller, tighter overall feel. However, over time with a lot of public threads it might get a little unwieldy.
