Categories for groups -- idea suggestion #suggestion

 

?
12:48 pm???

It would be very helpful to be able to search / browse groups by category.? ?There are new groups on Groups.io but it is not easy to find them for a specific interest area.? For example I'd like to see the new groups for "Amateur and Ham Radio" that are being formed.? See the illustration below, I don't think there is a good way to do this currently but it seem like it would not be difficult to add.

This idea is also posted in the "beta" group but it was suggested to post it here too.? ?A member there suggested we offer a short list of categories to illustrate and solicit opinions on how to keep it short and still be inclusive.? ?So here is a quick pass I made with 20 entries, sorted alphabetically including one for "other."?

You could do that now in Databases by naming the dbases in alphabetical or numerical order, but it won¡¯t be in a form format like you have.

I believe what Al's looking for is something to supplement the Public group directory search engine...sort of like the categories you see on the front page of Craigslist.

Hi Bruce and Robert,
Yes, categories similar to what Yahoo uses for groups but just a single level instead of the multi level heirachy they attempted to set up. ?There is more detail in the thread in the ¡°beta¡± group with some additional discussion.?
