There's also the way that LibraryThing does it: it lets people set up  
"discussion groups" based on any topic that people want. So that way  
the Romance novel people and the Urdu poetry people can have their own  
places. If there are general cataloging issues, there could be a  
general cataloging discussion group where people talk about "best  
practices" or discuss a non-obvious fix for a problem.
