Proposed list of tags:[livejournal.com profile] fanarchive

A few days late - sorry, new job, hectic week. I tried to keep this concise and yet cover everything I could think of that might crop up. I've set it up to follow the two- or three-tier system that [livejournal.com profile] thefourthvine and I use in our sidebars, created by [livejournal.com profile] murklins. If a one-tier system is more desirable I can re-think this. The main categories are archives, fanarchive, features, and planning.

In the meantime, comments? Additions? Questions? Deletions? Have at!

archives:audience & community (suggested change: archives:users and community)
archives:history
archives:legal issues
archives:meta
archives:other archives
fanarchive:admin
fanarchive:weekly summaries
features:discussion
features:suggestions
(alternatively, the prior two could be subsets of "planning")
planning:coding
planning:design
planning:funding
planning:issues
planning:moderation
planning:people & volunteering
planning:resources & maintenance
planning:tools and software
planning:universal access

Questions thus far: do we need a "content" tag? If so, where might it go (under archives, planning, etc.)? Should universal access be under "planning"? Should "archives" be plural?

Maybe, once everyone seems to have commented who wants to, publish the list again with the suggested changes listed next to the originals?

Gah. Information architecture gives me vertigo. I would think that "content" could fall under either "archives," as you suggest, if user-centered things like restrictions and interfaces and so on are the bigger concerns; or under "planning" if the issues have more to do with stuff like scalability, taxonomies, formats, and so on.

I'm pretty sure almost everybody knows more about this than me. *g*

Thank you again; this stuff is hard! Hope the new job's going well!
