Mirrored topic: same topic in two categories

Hi Simon,

One example:

  1. I have three main categories: Elementary, Middle and High School. They are quite independent categories (90% of the topics do not interest the others). There are more common categories, but I would not like to add a lot of categories (10-15 max).

  2. I would like to share a one topic about Educational robotics to everyone.
    2.1. I can create a category called “Educational Robotics”, I know, but it generates some dispersion in some not competent users. Some users will create new topics talking about robots in “Elementary” category (because they are an elementary teacher) and some users will create in “Educational robotics”.
    2.2. I can triplicate a topic, true, but I would like that all community talk about together from his “natural place”.

It is a classic problem in hierarchical systems. Tags can help, but require supervision and maintenance when users are not digitally competent. Automatic tags based in content (great new feature!) can help also, but mirrored topics can be useful in some scenarios, I think.

Thanks, Simon, for your attention.
