I’m thinking on both: adequately categorizing papers may have an indirect impact on how other scholars select their bibliographical references; and the volunteer editors themselves may acquire (or anticipate its acquisition—I suppose that, if a paper is really good, you’ll likely end up finding it anyway) knowledge of their corresponding domains.
Of course, perhaps the answer is “it’s already hard enough to catch up with the posts on such-and-such subjects in the EA and rationalist community, and read the standard literature, and do original work, etc. - and you still want me to work as a quasi-librarian for free?”
This suggestion is worth posting in other places. You could consider emailing places like Forethought or FHI that have a lot of philosophers, or posting in FB groups like “EA Fundamental Research” or “EA Volunteering”.
Too bad I don’t have a Facebook account anymore… I’d appreciate if someone else (whou found it useful, of course) could raise this subject in those groups.
(man, do I miss the memes!)
Or I could just post it as a Question in this forum, to get more visibility.
