OK, now that everyone has had a chance to comment, this seems to be 
the consensus:

>>Put 0.1, 0.3 & 0.11 together:
0.1··ADMIN/list management related
0.3··Discussing spoiler issues/problems
0.11··Too illiterate, badly written

Carolyn:
No disagreement here, so we will implement this.


>>Put 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 together:
0.4 ··Off-topic Chatter
0.5··Listings of personal favourite topics/characters etc 
0.6··Fan-fic-related


Anne:
Wouldn't we want to keep 0.6 as a separate category because, like the
Movie-related category, these posts might be quite interesting to
somebody? On the other hand, there is so very much to the fanfic world
that these may just be superfluous...

Barry:
Apart from my instinct telling me to agree with Anne re keeping Fan-
Fic
as a separate recognisable category, folding the reject categories
together seems reasonable.

David:
But, to return to your question: I'm inclined to agree with Anne
that Movie and FF are in some way equivalent, though that might just
as well be an argument for lumping them *both* with OT.

Carolyn again:
I am happy to keep 0.6 Fan-fic separate if people wish. I'll just 
merge 0.4 and 0.5 in this case.



>>Put 0.8 and 0.8.2 together/ OR put 0.8 and 0.8.1 together leaving 
0.8.2 on its own

0.8··Adds nothing new
0.8.1····Mere agreement
0.8.2····FAQs & their answers

Anne:
I'm confused. I thought 0.8.2 was for flagging these posts for the FAQ
team. Does this mean they don't need these after all?

Why not fold 0.8.1...Mere agreement into 0.8...Adds nothing new? Is
it to keep the size of 0.8 manageable for review after we're done
cataloguing?

Carolyn again:
I really don't know what the FAQ or FP teams are doing these days - 
not a lot, I think. Hopefully they will be galvanised into action 
again by the resource offered by this catalogue. But their 
requirements were not the reason for suggesting this merger. I just 
thought that so much of what goes in 0.8 was borderline FAQ very 
often, that it would be simpler to put all of it together. Perhaps 
what I am saying is that the current list of topics regarded as FAQs 
(in the HB) should eventually be reviewed against what goes into this 
merged category, since the stuff here will represent our collective 
view of things which have been discussed too often to even code up.

But, if people prefer, we could just put 0.8 and 0.8.1 together, and 
leave 0.8.2 as a separate category for the time being.



>>Put 0.9 and 0.7 together
0.9··Correction of trivial mistake in past post
For posts correcting spelling mistakes, mis-attribution or other
minor errors
0.7··Repeated /duplicated post
For where someone has posted something twice in error

Carolyn:
Seems no disagreement here, so I will implement this.


The following two stay as they are:

0.2··Movie-related
Anything to do with the films that does not include a substantive
discussion about the book canon


0.10··Mistakes/perpetrating mistakes
Use this when you know that the premise of a post is based on a
mistake over canon – including things we now know as a result of OOP,
but which were not known at the time, eg who the `married couple' are
that Sirius referred to in POA.



Any final thoughts?

Carolyn
