[Sigia-l] The category of "Miscellaneous"

[Richard Law]

Hi All,

This is something we have all tried to solve within our content 
architectures on our projects at some point, so I hope some folks on 
the list have some interesting ideas for acceptable solutions.

Sometimes it is very difficult to groups links into meaningful 
categories or buckets. Sometimes document types really defy 
categorization beyond a general bucket name/label (e.g., General 
Information, Miscellaneous, etc.). I know it is best to actually create 
meaningful category names, but sometimes on large enterprise web 
projects it can be very difficult to get business stakeholders to agree 
to standardized naming for categorizing content or documents, much less 
remove dated content from the site.

In absence of a an idea solution, we need to create at a minimum a 
logical solution that makes sense to customers/users. What good 
alternative names have you used to group somewhat random content or 
documents that are not wholly disparate?

Thanks!

Richard
