About the dev category

Topics related to development of Hugo itself: submitting pull requests, configuring development environments, coding conventions, and so forth.

submitting pull requests, configuring development environments, coding conventions, and so forth.

Properly (and more usefully), the above examples would fall into another category: “dev-meta.”

“Dev-meta” would discuss the methods, tools, and procedures in use to develop Hugo (rather than what Hugo itself should be like).

When a person acquires enough reputation points, they’ll be able to move threads among the existing categories.

As the Hugo discussion forum grows in size even further, both having more categories and threads more cleanly categorized in them will help people in searching.

Topics related to development of Hugo itself

Well, the above language is correct, insofar as it goes!

But mainly (more usefully and properly), category “dev” should contain discussions by people who (in their various capacities) are focused on developing Hugo (obviously).

In other words, “dev” should discuss what Hugo itself should be like. Its threads might also contain proposals, resolutions, and clarifications.

This sticky post should be edited, in order to add a phrase to cover this kind of topic.
