Before everybody goes all warm and fuzzy about his/her pet categorization scheme, let me remind you that the discussion started about how to use the wiki for categorizing. A wiki has no built-in authority control. If we want to end up with useful categories we need to develop a restricted vocabulary. The good news is: if we use one page per category, the vocabulary will build itself. Pages can easily be split or merged whenever the vocabulary changes. Also, it is very easy to harvest sites that already have categorized pg books and convert their data into a wiki list. The easiest way to start is to: 1. Create an account 2. Create a page containing a list of books 3. Add the page to the "Bookshelf" category like here: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Detective_Fiction Remember that this is a wiki. Don't expect things you edit to stay edited. If you want to express a personal opinion use a subpage of your user page like this: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/User:Marcello/Marcello's_Tops_and_Flops -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
