Can we clarify exactly what we're doing? Are we changing codes as we 
review, or making notes? What if we have posts that were coded 
before certain categories came into existance? I don't want to start 
adding codes and find that I'm messing up somebody else's section by 
adding posts while they're in the middle of it.

How about we remove all unnecessary codes (which won't upset anyone 
else's categories), but make a list of posts where extra codes 
should be added, along with clearer definitions of categories and 
potential new categories, to be discussed, and then have a sweep 
through adding categories at the end? 

Alternatively, we could have an extra category called 'reviewed' 
(which could be removed afterwards) that gets ticked for all posts 
that have had codes added in this review. Then you can identify the 
new posts that turn up in a category that you're working on, and you 
don't need to repeat somebody else's work.
