| As announced in mid-April, today the item type and category definitions were
updated.
Two months from now, on August 1st, we'd like to (which doesn't mean
for a certainty that we will) simultaneously launch a couple of projects from
the roadmap as follows:
1. Clarification of Item Types and Moving Items - A project to clearly define
what constitutes sets, parts, minifigures, books, gear, and catalogs. Once clear
definitions exist, some (and potentially many) items may need to be changed from
one type to another to comply with definitions.
7. Part Reclassifications - A project to revisit certain difficult-to-define
parts and determine if they would fit better in different categories.
During the coming two months, please make a list of the items you feel are miscategorized,
whether by item type or by category. As you make your list or lists, refer to
the new definitions to see where they support or fail to support your position
and be prepared to offer suggestions for improvements to the definitions.
I've no doubt that the discussion that occurs will also involve categories
themselves, so be prepared with a list of specific categories that you feel should
be removed altogether, categories that should be renamed, and new categories
that are needed.
In the interim, there is no need to reply to this message.

This is coming up. As of right now, still looks like it will happen.
Prepare.

| Can we get a forum topic for this please, so replies are sorted together for
reference purposes?
