Just an idea I had for quite some time.

What would you think about creating a new forum category named “Example” ? Possibly as an alternative or replacement of “Gallery”.

I have noticed several forums in the creative coding/noding community (and beyond) favoring this naming convention. Some pros I can think of:

- “Example” has a **neutral connotation**.

- “Example” as an invitation to **build a community**.

For comparison, the OpenFrameworks forum has no “Gallery” category, only “Example”. VVVV’s forum provides both a “WIP” page (humble name for “gallery”) and “Tutorials” page (examples with annotations or brief explanations).

I like the idea! Let’s see what master of forums and community-wise-person @jeremydouglass has to say!
