FEATURE: Should we use "Categories" or "Tags" more for organizing

I think for:

  • News
  • Discussion
  • Initiatives
  • Market
  • Jobs
  • Events
  • Latrine

We have a choice in whether to organize using Categories or Tags. Categories would result in things being neatly packed away, but maybe harder to discover? Tags would leave everything in the root Category, so it will be easier to see a stream of activity. You will still be able to filter for tags if you want to. And a thread can have multiple tags so you’re not forced to choose.

I think this probably leads me towards favoring tags within the above categories. What do you think?
