No, that is not may idea. My idea is to have a clearer clasification about all of the categories and their usage.

I have some concers about:

I think the tryton forum should be as much inclusive as possible and we should encourage friendly non-offical projects (tryton.community and similars) to use our own forum. This way we can benefit for a more wide colaboration and even sometimes gather ideas for non official communities.

If you want to have some disctiontion about official and non-official organization, maybe we just need some tags?

Also what nor clear for me is where official statements should be placed. I had the impression that you want to use “Organization” for that but it is not still clear if that fit to news ot to organization. Maybe we should just need to have some not so important announcements that do not deserve an specific new but include them on the monthly newsletter. Of course we need to decide when a discussion is agreed and when to include them as official statement. I think it is important to do “Offical announcements” because I think there is some people not following the full discuss topic but following just tryton-announces.

For example:

[Documentation update](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/require-documentation-update-for-any-new-feature/6417/2) was not officialy announced:  
[Sponsoring](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/sponsoring-features/6207) was neither officially announced.  
Development freeze and release dates are not also officialy announced once published.  
If you have a look at the Organization category I’m sure you will find more examples.

To resume I think the proposal can be best described as:

- Use organization category to discuss ideas on how to improve the project’s organization.
- Use news to publish offical statements (using monthly newsletter when not so important).
- Create a new “Message board” to include message that do not fit a better cattegory.

Of course, feel free to update/edit something if I did not understand properly.

Also it is not clear what for me if there should be an internal/external disctintion. We still need to agree on such part.
