And also possibly for 1% baked ideas (see the recent
controversy).A big +1 for me.
No objections to (a few) additional categories. But…
“General discussion” (what the Python Help category really is) is too broad,
“Python Help” is a misleading name and doesn’t sufficiently cover the
community interests.
I am very -1 on renaming “Python Help” to anything else.
“Python Help” was chosen deliberately after a period of not being called
that. It used to be called “Miscellaneous” or something, and not be the
top topic. That caused much noise, as many assorted “help”-like posts
showed up in more focussed categories.
This is both disruptive to more focussed categories, and ineffective
for people seeking help because some of the “tutor”-minded readers won’t
be reading all the focussed categories.
After some discussion, we:
- renamed it to Python Help, its primary (but not only) purpose
- made it the top category because people were not finding it, or not choosing it
- put in a very concise yet broad description
The heading wants to be read with a little context - the associated
description. The Python Discuss front page shows this category as:
Python Help
General help/discussion forum for the Python programming language. All welcome.
The description is very deliberately easy to read and short and
welcoming. Your statement:
"Python Help" is a misleading name and doesn't sufficiently cover
the community interests.
only makes sense if you haven’t taken the time to read the description line.
