Categorisation, tagging, default appearance

Thanks @evalica for seeking feedback!

I’m not yet convinced that categories by default at the home page is, or will be (when the forum gains momentum), better than latest.

With apologies for short notice: I have performed a reset on the top menu. Short notice because I only just learnt of the call, less than three hours from now, with the forum on the agenda.

A two-hour opportunity for participants who have worked, for the past two weeks, with categories at home page to begin getting a feel for how things might be with the Discourse default for the top menu.

Please understand that today’s reset need not be a final setting. I never like making changes such as this without consultation – especially where a site has gone live – but with the call so soon, I’m squeezing it in with a hope that someone will form an opinion in the next hour or so.

(If the call is followed by a final or semi-final decision to reinstate categories by default: the change will be very easily achieved by any member of staff.)
