(Btw, I think you can remove REG/FRI/EAF/Swiss from future surveys because we’ve deemphasized outreach and have been focusing on research. I also think the numbers substantially overlap with “local groups”.)
Thanks. That makes sense. I try not to change the historic categories too much though, since it messes up comparisons across years.
I was thinking it’s perhaps best to list it like this:
“Brian Tomasik’s Essays on Reducing Suffering (or FRI/CLR, EAF/GBS Switzerland, REG)”
I think Brian’s work brought several people into EA and may continue to do so, whereas that seems less likely for the other categories.
I also see the point about historic changes, but I personally never thought the previous categories were particularly helpful.
