I’d like to build a website where every week we host a public figure who responds to people’s questions about their work/career. What is the best way to implement it using discourse? I was thinking the public figure’s name can be used as a category so every question for reach particular one is easily seen.

I think that approach could work, but then you’d end up with about 50 categories being added every year, which would be a lot of categories. That sounds like overkill. You could just have a single thread/topic for each public figure, and then let the Q&A be done as replies to that topic. Then you’d only need one category for all of them.

Take a look at this thread. There are some golden nuggets in there: [图片] Doing an AMA using Discourse Community Building Hi mates, In one of my communities, we want to do an AMA (ask me anything). As you know, this is one of the things more interesting that you can find in Reddit, and the threaded discussions, in some way, helps to do it because is easy to detect the main author. What would be the best way to do an AMA using discoure? The author should reply each message? The author should quote different questiosn and answer all in a new reply? What do you think is best? Thanks!

I will use tags instead of categories. So all the topics will be go on Uncategorized with public figure’s tag. [图片] Also I will change the topic template of the Uncategorized category just like below. Hi @JustinBiber, Mentioning him will send notification about new topics. And I will keep changing it for every public figure’s change.

Thanks vinothkannans. Could you explain the notifications bit?

By default, Discourse will send notification when someone mentioned you using the username (for example: @Mawi_Raura). So when the topic template having mentioned with username of public figure he will get notification.

True. However what if, after each topic’s closure,they were to get bundled into one big category such that only active ama’s were visible as topics?
