This page is obsolete and only retained for archival purposes.

This is a short discussion regarding the "Topics" in slashcode.

As is stands now OldSlashdot has the following categories on the front page.

• Ask Slashdot

• Book Reviews

• Games

• Idle

• YRO

• Cloud

• Hardware

• Linux
  • perhaps we should add a Windows and OSX category as well or just call this Operating Systems. I'm a Linux user at home, but it seems one sided to have only a category for Linux. We should try to be unbiased when possible.

• Management

• Mobile

• Science

• Security

• Storage

Is this the same format people would want on a new site? Expand the list, or focus more on fewer categories? Combine where possible (i.e. Storage and Cloud may fit in some larger category ??) Additions:

• Alternative Energy
• General Current events ?
• Developers
• Digital Currency/Bitcoin? - is anybody really interested in Bitcoin as much as the /. editors seem to be?
  • Seems to be a bit of a buzz around this. Just like someone above said, maybe these "subject of the day" things can be combined in to a single category. Things like Cryptocurrency, Cloud, etc.
• Making ?
