When I have little time to read CCC, I usually look for programming-related posts. I can only do this by the author or subject, but it's difficult anyway. I suppose other pleople have other preferences, and many many people is not interested in programming at all. So I suggest that every posts has a 'type', that can be marked (in an option box, for example) when creating it. By default, every new post (new thread) would have checked the option 'general' unless the author changes it. Follow-up would inherit from its parent, but could be changed if the thread turns into a different argument. Finally, filters would have the possibility to chose one or more type (or 'all-types'). My suggested types: - General : default - Programming : for crazy people like me :) - Tests : positions, results, tournaments... - CCC : moderation posts, elections, suggestions like this... - Announcements : where programmers/companies can announce releases or patches - Off topics : why not? sometimes they're interesting... - New paradigms : just joking :) This could hardly bother anyone, because default options would make it work exactly as it works right now. Opinions? José C.
