In the discussion we had in dotdude's recent Sift Talk post about raising the maximum channel assignemnts, a consensus seemed to emerge that we should categorize the channels in some way so that assigning channels to videos will be easier, especially for newbies. In light of this I thought I'd try my hand at categorization of all our channels. I didn't include little check boxes next to each channel, but I think you can imagine them. At least I hope so.

Keep in mind that I did this quickly, so it's by no means perfect. Also you'll probably notice that some channels are listed in more than one category. My thought is that it wouldn't make sense to leave those out of some categories, so it won't hurt to list them more than once. If a person checked one channel more than once, then the first check mark for that category would disappear. For example, if someone first checked Obscure under the Film category and then again under the Music category, the check mark under the Film category would disappear.



I welcome your constructive feedback, and welcome even more your own images of what you think it should look like. A picture is worth a thousand words, correct? Let's help dag and lucky with this, because they're already doing a lot of heavy lifting for peanuts. One less headache is universally appreciated.
