Is it possible to add categories in addition to tags?
As on Question2Answer?
It would be great for sites with more than one main topic.
Like: Physics-, Chemistry-, Math- Category on a scientific site
so the user can subscribe to a special category and the tags within category.

We will build the category feature. I think it will be using special tags, I don't want to add field category as an extra independent piece of data to enter, because it will make the user experience worse.
What you mean by "special tags"? When the category field will build?
Basically I don't want to have an extra field for a category on the questions, because it adds one more piece of data to enter. We can have a tag connected to categories (potentially with several levels of categories - maybe 1-3 levels). The category tags must be more or less leaves of the category tree, otherwise there is a potential for confusion. Some tags may end up two completely unrelated fields and you may see irrelevant entries in the q-list when filtering by categories. When we do it depends on funding. Our current priorities - moderation and customization features and solving bugs.
Great great feature. I hope that this feature is included soon
