Website content categories

Just a quick update to my earlier post on our move to a new website platform before I disappear on two weeks leave.  Having moved a bunch of the content over I became increasingly frustrated with the categories I’d set out and annoyed by the lack of obvious meaning or direction in the ‘Knowledge’ heading…  so a revised approach seemed in order.

 In a stroke of nice timing, Richard had just sent around an early cut of his ‘Planning grand unification theory’ that’ll he’ll probably be sharing here before long… It’s helped shape the new approach. The following categories and some (non-exhaustive) examples of what content would go under them appears below.  This has had a little discussion here but not massive amounts yet. 

Does it make sense to you?  Let me know what you think.  I look forward to exploring more how this works when I get back from leave, so put your thoughts in the mix.
