San bro -

It's great to see so many sections coming up - thanks. I will do my level best, and hope everyone else will, to contribute wherever it makes sense to :). Just when I thought I would cut back on Sajha, you are making it harder and harder for me to do so ...LOL!!

May I suggest, as a next step, that we issue some guidelines on what type of content should be going into each section? I am still debating whether US presidential elections should go into "Politics" or "Current Affairs" in the absence of guidelines. This might be case where a post overlaps two sections, but I think it would help if we could come up with a rough set of guidelines  to avoid confusion.

Also, if I may, I'd recommend looking at sites like the NYT,WSJ and IHT for some ideas around how content
is organized. Obviously we cant mirror their structure here, and neither should we because we are a different kind of site, but because they have been at it for a long time and have probably hashed out content classification issues in the process, we might be able to reap the benefits of their homework

Just some thoughts.

Have a good weekend and as always thanks for the great work you do.
