(Replace this first paragraph with a brief description of your new category. This guidance will appear in the category selection area, so try to keep it below 200 characters.)

Use the following paragraphs for a longer description, or to establish category guidelines or rules:

  • Why should people use this category? What is it for?

  • How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?

  • What should topics in this category generally contain?

  • Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?

Perhaps some should consideration should be given to breaking up the topic into subcategories?

This topic be way more useful to everyone if there was some metadata. For example, separating out open-source solutions from paid offerings be one main dimension.

IDK best way to do this in Discourse, but either sub-categories and/or tags be very helpful in this topic.
