  • So far, existing Meta discussion seems to have at least hinted at the possibility of using separate categories here:
  • * [To shuffle closed questions out of the way (globally for Codidact)](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285216/) ([also](https://software.codidact.com/posts/285399))
  • * [For debugging help requests](https://software.codidact.com/posts/284979) (mentioned tangentially to the original discussion)
  • * [To recommend books or other resources](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287107)
  • * [To publish "reference" material on a topic without needing a question](https://software.codidact.com/posts/278189)
  • I want to open the floor for brainstorming. Do all of these make as much sense to others as they do to me? What else might I be overlooking here?

What categories could we benefit from having?
So far, existing Meta discussion seems to have at least hinted at the possibility of using separate categories here:

I want to open the floor for brainstorming. Do all of these make as much sense to others as they do to me? What else might I be overlooking here?
