Categories can only be defined by the admin, so it is useful to have as comprehensive a list as possible. I suggest the following set:

(Edited slightly to reorganize)

Meta (about the site, the software, etc)
News (conferences, deadlines, workshops, schools, etc.)
Nuggets (research reports, new algorithms, etc.)
CHASC (about CHASC)
