Proposed list of tags:fanarchive

[norah.livejournal.com]

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 thefourthvine and I use in our sidebars, created by 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?

I definitely prefer multi-tier tags, fwiw.

I'm fairly certain teh layout doesn't allow for a two tier system (basic account/limited custumization).
Or do you have more info on that?

Do you mind a question about the "audience" tag? I keep coming back to the issue, for myself, of writers as users of archives, and the hope that the design for this one will keep writers' interests front and center, as well as readers'.

Would "users and community" be more inclusive, maybe?

Also wondered, maybe in a related question, about where "content" would fall in this schema?

Thank you so much for doing this!

Why archiveS? Or did you mean archive's?

Why is universal access under planning?
(I'm actually not quite sure what you mean by that. I have a couple of different ideas that could fall under that heading.)


history: of this project or of archives in general?

I don't understand how features:discussion and features:suggestions are different, asssuming that all suggestions posts would end up being discussions. Or is features:discussion solely for the discussion of current features (like if someone was having a problem with part of the website or something)?

What is the tag "planning:issues" intended for? "Issues" is really general, no? I mean funding and design are "issues". Or is it for issues with the planning process, like planning meta? Or do you mean it for contentious stuff, like allowing chan or fanfic in fandoms with fanfic-hostile owners or whatever?

I'm actually a little bit curious as to what goes in under "archives:history". Is this just history of other archives or is this other things as well... fandom phenomena like Mary Sues, or maybe even the language of fandom, maybe something along these (http://www.subreality.com/glossary/terms.htm) lines?

I like the multi-tier thing though. I've seen it work on other comms as well, and I've used it myself on occasion.

I wouldn't mind a tag for discussion dealing specifically with multimedia (fanart/fanvid) support.
