Six days into the private beta, I've taken 100 questions more or less at random and came up with:
- 22 “list works containing X”
- 20 trivia questions (that are only interesting to people who've read/seen a particular work)
- 13 questions about the industry, of which 6 are about future plans
- 11 requests for online resources
- 9 classification/terminology questions (e.g. is X science fiction, what is subgenre Y)
- 6 “favorite X” questions
- 5 science questions
- 4 identification questions
- 10 miscellaneous questions
I don't have the time to extract my list into postable form right now, and anyway different people might have different classifications, but I think it gives a feel for what we've done with the site so far.
I think at this point we should think what kinds of questions we want and what kinds we don't want. Also perhaps some tagging policies. So I guess my question is, which of these categories do you feel belong/don't belong here? (See also the linked Meta posts for some categories.)
