Agreed that subforums are a good idea, but the way they’re done on facebook seems particularly bad for creating common knowledge, because (as you point out) they’re so scattered. Also the advantage of people checking facebook more is countered, for me, by the disadvantage of facebook being a massive time sink, so that I don’t want to encourage myself or others to go on it when I don’t have to. So it would be ideal if the solution could be a modification or improvement to the EA forum—especially given that the code for curation already exists!
