We could have 'inherited' topics, i.e. a wind farm diary is also automatically tagged as 'energy' so that it's appear in both sections, RSS feeds, etc... and would help solving the big/small topic problem. Can we have a dozen "main" topics, and one or two "good" diaries to showcase under each one ?

The good diaries need not be synthetic and written specifically for the box : the idea is maybe to give a "feel" of the place rather than conclusions that would have to be updated too regularly (and thus wouldn't be done...)

The main topics could be :

Sustainability/Energy (Wind Power, peak oil...)

Economics/Finance (Anglo-Disease, bubble...)

Inequality

Labour relations/Unions

Geopolitics/Wars

Country Specific/EU

Country Specific/World

Society (Religions, etc...)

Object Series

Miscellaneous/Fun
