Can you add a LAMP sig category? (yes all caps is on purpose)
Susan
Critical mass of activity is essential to success of a new discussion category.
The Discourse people suggest at least five topics and 30 message posts before the doors are open. Who wants to enter an empty room? It’s a bad experience and will likely result in visitors not returning.
Consequently I’m happy to add new categories when there’s a commitment to build a foundation of messages. Starting with Laser and CNC was easy because the community is technical and active. LAMP and Caning and Hand Tools and a few others will be more challenging but I’d like to try.
If you’d like to give it a go and get LAMP up and running then I’ll help.
Below is the list of SIG prospects that will represent at the next GM.

For CNC and laser. Add tips and tricks as a catagory
I would love to keep LAMP up and running.
I think using this forum to share information about LAMP projects is a fantastic idea, and a great time saver for me. I will build up a FAQ and welcome to LAMP post tonight and post it whenever the category is listed. 
I am sure people will join up. Super excited.
