A few years ago, a few wikieducators started the Categories Workgroup<http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Categories>. The purpose of the group is "... to achieve a category structure which facilitates browsing related content, as well as finding specific content, inasmuch as categories are capable." The group has languished over the past 2+ years, but the early thinking is still available.
In my opinion, the current state of categories on WikiEducator is chaotic and, although it's not a top priority, it would be nice if we could bring some structure to our offerings. As a first step in this effort, I propose that we create Category: Contents<http://wikieducator.org/Category:Contents>as the top (root) level of the WE category system. My reasoning for this suggestion is that the term "Contents" is easily understood by educators, generally, and also, Wikipedia uses "Contents" as its top category, offering good precedent for the choice (although most of the other Wikimedia projects use "Category:Categories" as their top level). If you are interested, you can access a short discussion from 2009<http://wikieducator.org/Thread:Brainstorming!_(3)>on alternatives. Please reply post with any thoughts on this suggestion.
