[Imc-alternatives] [content] solidifying new taxonomy

Hi all,

As we're puttering toward finally doing some content work, I figure 
we should pin down the new taxonomy we talked about.  Here is my 
proposal, though there are still some questions, such as whether 
"familiy & home" makes sense as a category.  Please make suggestions.

As I've mentioned to some of you, I'm at the tail end (a few more 
weeks) of working on a huge project that has been eating up my 
days.  After that, I plan to engage in a super-substantial flurry of 
content addition.  Until then I'll keep nudging on taxonomy and any 
other editorial issues so we can have those things solidified.

Anyway, here are the suggested categories:

-- Organizing Society (this would be about political systems and 
governance, collectives, co-ops, etc.)
-- Learning & Education
-- Economics & Business
-- Communications & Media
-- Art & Culture
-- Environment & Energy (Could include food & water issues?)
-- Spirituality & Religion
-- Famly & Home (having a hard time with this one -- it should be 
about "alternative lifestyles" and the way people live their 
lives.  In the old alternatives feature it was "personal choices."  Help!)
-- Health & Wellness
-- Law & Security (this could cover transformative justice and 
alternatives to the prison system as well as international law and 
alternatives to war)
-- Conceiving the Alternatives (theories)
-- Living the Solutions (practical examples)
-- Resources
