Forum groups vs tags - when to use each

Hey thanks @Incrediblestorm!

You mention discussing best practices etc - all good aims. However, I don’t think you want to be hiding that in group discussions - that’s valuable discussion for everyone. The groups tend to be so we can mark out the experts in a particular collection or tool (eg the AWS group) and so that they can be mentioned if needed.

So looking at what you’re trying to achieve here, I think a tag is probably the way to go? I agree there isn’t a great place for this kind of discussion yet - it’s not exactly help and not exactly project work either. My gut instinct is that we need to push @leo on Dedicated category for Collection development?, get that category made, and then get posting in there with the gitlab tag? Would that work?

Happy to be corrected on any of that, and of course we can make a group - I just don’t want to see useful productive discussion squirrelled away in private messages :slight_smile:
