Talking about categories ...

I think the structure we can have is something like this :

Categories :

1.- English :
Announcements
Meta
Common tasks
Q&A
Guidelines
Tips
2.- Another Language :
3.- Silverblue
and so on ...

we can have 2 domains on for silverblue and another for askfedora and we don't need to re-structure :

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/
https://discussion.askfedora.org/

1.- English :
Announcements
Meta
Common tasks
Q&A
Guidelines
Tips
2.- Español :
Anuncios
Preguntas
2.- Another Language :
3.- and so on...

Note : Add a Spin topic would be nice (this is a commonly forgotten part)

https://meta.discourse.org/t/whats-the-maximum-number-of-categories-we-can-have/57022

500 to 1000 is safe

If you need more consider tags

Additionally you can have a very large number of groups

Built With

Ruby on Rails — Our back end API is a Rails app. It responds to requests RESTfully in JSON.

Ember.js — Our front end is an Ember.js app that communicates with the Rails API.

PostgreSQL — Our main data store is in Postgres.
* The main reason is search. Postgres has much better full-text search capability.
* There are also concerns about licensing with Oracle owning MySQL.
* No, only Postgres is supported. Using MySQL is not possible.

Redis — We use Redis as a cache and for transient data.

Plus lots of Ruby Gems, a complete list of which is at Gemfile

Lets to talk about Nomenclature :

1. Basic Terms Used by Discourse (Nomenclature)

Here are some very basic terms that will be helpful to keep in mind as you use Discourse or read this guide:

Topic:

The collection of messages grouped together in a meaningful conversation, with a title, listed in a category, beginning with an Original Post, and including all replies in chronological order.

Elsewhere this might be called a ‘thread’ but Discourse uses ‘topic’ since thread is used for linked elements that can go off in many different directions (and be confused with programming terms).

Post:

Each element of a topic is referred to as a post. Each post has its own author and can be moved to a different topic if necessary, or even become the start of a new topic.

Original Post (or OP):

The first post in any topic. This is key since it determines the focus of the topic and is what the title and tags will link to.

User:

Discourse sites may be private or public for anyone to read, but you will always be required to register in order to create posts and record any actions such as bookmarking, liking, tagging, and flagging. Most site activity, therefore, is based around registered Users

This is a general reference ticket with lots of information. We now need to open tickets that each specify a specific task that one of us can take up.
