I am not sure if @wolfman referred to the Uncategorized category in this forum or suggested an entirely new one a while back. In any case, I feel that we can come up with a more creative name for the Uncategorized cat.
Coffee Shop is a good start. Miscellaneous may be good too.
How about General Linux & Open Source?
Why not MATE Bar?
I partially ignore the uncategorized section because it doesnāt invite me to look. Some may view it as derisive; āA topic isnāt on-point so why bother?ā when really, it might be the opposite, but not on any of the points of interest for this forum.
I mean, I peek every so often but it still doesnāt feel inviting, and the grey colour, while fitting isnāt welcoming either. But I can see why brown wasnāt chosen because nobody wants to see crap topics.
How about, maybe, just maybe, we use various shades of the green used in the site header for both uncat and meta? That would also make it more inviting for visitors to look through.
This is exactly the problem. I think many topics discussed here are actually very valuable. A change of name and color will make it more inviting and bring it on par with the other categories. I would even prefer calling it "the dumping ground" over "uncategorized".
