==Using Categories==
Below are some brief guidelines with regard to adding categories to new Buckminster Wiki pages. Some basic rules:

*Always add the [[:Category:Buckminster]]. Pages without categories are bound to "disappear".
*Add as many categories to a page as you think are appropriate.
*Use a structured approach when defining new categories. Specifically, category names should work like a path. For example:

**[[:Category:Buckminster]]
***[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts]]
****[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts CSPEC]]
****[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts BOM]]
****etc
*But still try to keep it simple and avoid unnecessary fragmentation. Try to use existing categories if possible.
= Buckminster Category =
Place all Buckminster cateagories in the [[:Category:Buckminster]]

==List of existing and proposed categories==

*'''[[:Category:Buckminster]]''' - any new Buckminster Wiki page is in this category
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Introduction]]''' - any doc that can help getting people started (assuming they have no previous knowledge of Buckminster)
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Architecture]]''' - architectural background such as connections to other projects; this may be of interest to potential contributors
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Proposal]]''' - design/product  proposals
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Extensions]]''' - any page relating to extending Buckminster and ranging from technical specifications of extension points to tutorials on extending Buckminster
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts]]''' - the Buckminster artifacts CSPEC, RMAP, etc
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts RMAP]]''' - anything relating to RMAP
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts CQUERY]]''' - anything relating to CQUERY
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts CSPEC]]''' - anything relating to CSPEC
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts BOM]]''' - anything relating to BOM
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts MSPEC]]''' - anything relating to MSPEC
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster UI]]''' - all pages dedicated to the Buckminster UI (editors, etc)
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Usecases]]''' - all pages describing why, how and in what context someone might use Buckminster 
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Tutorials]]''' - step-by-step user guides 
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Presentations]]''' - all Buckminster presentations
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Technology]]''' - specific technology aspects
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Technology Readers]]''' - information relating to suported reader types
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Technology ComponentTypes]]''' - information relating to supported component types
**'''[[:Category:Buckminster Technology Ant]]''' - information relating to Buckminster ANT integration
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Headless]]''' - information relating to Buckminster in headless mode
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Management]]''' - all pages supporting the project management process (i.e. contributor guidelines, getting source code, etc) 
*'''[[:Category:Buckminster Release]]''' - pages with release specific information

And there is one special category which you should use if you want to archive a page. Instead of removing it you should remove all categories on the page and add:
*'''[[:Category:Archived Buckminster Documentation]]'''

Furthermore, you may consider to include categories from other projects that will allow users interested in say Birt to find [[BIRT and Buckminster]].


Typically, a document will be associated with multiple categories. A page describing the usage of the Buckminster CSPEC editor would for example fit the following categories: [[:Category:Buckminster]], [[:Category:Buckminster UI]], [[:Category:Buckminster Artifacts CSPEC]] and possibly [[:Category:Buckminster Tutorials]]
