I wonder if those are partly not better suited for tasks that we keep on github: _Events_/Finding a location (a task), collecting tools (should go in our resources). _Projects_ may be like design advice (what [@evalica suggested here](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/exchange-on-experiences-and-methods-best-practices/88/2) ) (but maybe you intended these to be something different, I’m only guessing from their names)

Help and Exchange may be broadly what I assume discourse to be particularly good at. Thus, [my suggestion above](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/categorisation-tagging-default-appearance/21/7) of having broadly topic oriented channels:

> - UI/Interaction Design (Interaction Design and UI Design for and with free projects)

I’d be happy to refine and/or combine 🙂 (e.g.Disciplines + Design Advice + [org-like](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/organization) category)
