We've organized the DU Groups into folders

[Skinner]

Now that we have more than 100 DU Groups, we felt it was well past time to impose just a little bit of organization. We have placed all of the DU Groups into five different category folders, representing five different broad subject groupings. Check it out:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=206

Most of the groups fit pretty easily into one of the five folders, but some were not such an easy fit. If you feel that your group has been placed in the incorrect folder, please contact me so we can discuss it.

Also, a few of the DU Groups do not get very much traffic. In the next week or so, we will go through the Groups and decide which ones should be removed.

Here are the Folders and their contents:

9. This looks GREAT, Skinner!

Kudos, as always, to the fabulous work you, elad, EarlG, and the mods do to continually improve an already awesome place!

[JimmyJazz]

10. I really think some second level color coding is in order.

:silly: Seriously though, it looks great. :)

Okay, now where is the anal retentive group again? :shrug:

[marions ghost]

11. good idea

my only suggestion is that computer-related topics might have their own folder:

animation
bloggers
computer help
graphics
gaming
macintosh users
open sourse
website, db, software

these are the ones I saw under personal interest--it would be handy to users to have these grouped.

:thumbsup: in general
