The items in this category are primarily Meeting Minutes, which we’re obligated to send out. My worry is that someone gets one too many digest mails, unsubscribes from everything, and we’re in trouble for not emailing out the minutes.
I do get your point, however. I’m just trying to find ways to reduce the burden of emailing people and posting for comment.
I need to experiment more with default categories set. Again, my concern is we want to send out a notice that a tree is down (for example) and the user has their digests set for once per week or something. I’d like to make just this one category operate specially.
I might be trying to fit a round peg in a square hole here, though, with Discourse. Part of the exploration, I suppose.
