Then, I would just change a bit Communication and Community categories.
First of all, I would add a subcategory to Communication to talk about new ideas or questions about this category. Could it be Communication strategy/Roadmap? For Community, I would add something like âAbout usâ to talk about the community, what can be improved and the project itself.
In addition, I would change the subcategory âCommunication - Eventsâ to something similar to âCommunication - Word of Mouth/Talk about Frontity!â and I would include Events as a subcategory below Community to talk about events community organizes or events users consider interesting to go to.
I feel that if we wanted Communication - Events just for people who wants to talk about Frontity it could be confusing and we would need a place to talk about the events organized or interesting for the community.
Once we decide a better name for the subcategories, I think we would cover most of the topics, and we can always add new categories/subcategories in the future.
Communication
Better description needed
SELECT NAME Communication questions? New ideas? Bring them up here
Articles Better description needed
Social media Better description needed
Word of Mouth/Talk about Frontity! Better description needed
Community
About us Talk about the community, what can be improved and the project itself
Showcases Show what you have accomplished and be proud!
Forum Talk about this forum, how it works, and how we can improve it.
@SantosGuillamot I donât understand the purpose of this subcategory. Could you explain it a little bit? As per its description, it looks like it is for posting âcommunication questionsâ - I find it quite confusing and would be more specific.
I donât see neither the point of having a subcategory called âAbout usâ in the Community. I mean, I donât like that name because it seems that it is a category to talk about âusâ, the team behind the project and not the community.
In any case, these are my suggestions for both categories:
Communication
Articles Would you like to see more posts about a specific topic? Feel free to send your suggestions to the community, gift ideas about topics you would like to write about, or simply share your recommended reads.
Spread the word Want to talk about Frontity in your local meetup? Would you like to start an initiative to help promote the project globally? Whatever your idea is, feel free to share it with the community for support and help.
Community
Showcases Show what you have accomplished and be proud!
Events Get involved with the Frontity Community through special events.
Forum Feedback Talk about this forum, how it works, and how we can improve it.
Frontity Chat General chat about all things Frontity. Feel free to ask anything youâd like.
Random Chat A place for informal chatting and off-topic threads that donât fit anywhere else.
Actually, I think we could leave the âForum Feedbackâ as a parent category. What do you think?
I really like this change and I was about to propose the very same name than Reyes: Spread the word!
Itâs much more welcoming than Events. We should find a cooler name for Articles as well
I like the idea of the About us, but I agree with Reyes, we need to find a better name because it look like the About us page of the websites too much.
And I think that if we have a category to talk about the community, we donât need a category to talk about the Forum which is only the tool we use for the community.
About us => great, but we need a better name Talk about the community, what can be improved and the project itself
Forum => removed in favor of the above one Talk about this forum, how it works, and how we can improve it.
One last comment: I really like the one-line descriptions of the npm forum. I think they are super clear and easy to read. Iâll try to stick with one-line descriptions when possible.
I see a problem, though. In the homepage, only the descriptions of the main categories are visible. I donât know if we can change that, but if we canât, itâs a problem because the name is the only thing users are going to read.
It changes a lot!! So I think we should give it more priority to find better subcategory names.
Framework Design & Development
Get involved in the framework design and its development.
My idea was to add a subcategory for general topics about communication, questions and ideas that wouldnât be included in Articles or Social Media. I think these questions should go in Communication category itself, but I feel users will try to fit it into a subcategory too, so maybe it is a good idea to have one for this.
I agree with both of you that âAbout usâ it is not the best name for it, but I would keep this category changing the name.
After talking with Rodrigo I think we should reduce the number of subcategories and add more later once we learn how people are using the forum. Based on that my suggestion is:
Framework Design
Get involved in the framework design and its development.
Development Talk
Confused? Getting a weird error? Got a nice article? Interesting memes?
Bugs
Formal bug reports of the framework, official extensions or themes go here.
Communication
Love Frontity? Letâs spread the word.
Community
Discussions about the community, this forum, events, socializingâŚ
I feel it is a good approach. I think that when we talked to Carlos from OSW he told us that they had a lot of Slack channels but many of them were not being used by the users so they closed them. So we can start with these categories and iterate according to users demands.
