One idea is to create platforms, frameworks, libraries, languages as parent categories with the appropriate sub-categories. It would be nice to allow somebody to post a snippet that contains CSS, jQuery and PHP and call it a web application snippet. Or one could post node.js, CSS and HTML5 and call it a mobile application snippet.

@Hawkee Great idea! Have you considered creating a jsfiddle-like area for those type of snippets (HTML5/CSS/JS)?

@sean No, I don't think we need it. jsfiddle pretty much has that covered. One thing I'd like to consider is a demo page like Github offers. Or even multiple demo pages to demonstrate something step-by-step.

@Hawkee That'd be cool. Off subject: have you thought about adding a Linux section?

We do have a bash section. What would you like to post pertaining to Linux?

Mainly posting just a series of commands to accomplish various tasks. Not exactly bash but, it should suffice I guess lol Thanks!

Well we do have OS X and Windows, so I don't see why we can't have Linux, let me add it.

You could implement a hierarchy similar to platforms that is designated for libraries such as JQuery.

@Sorasyn Yes, but how should it be implemented?

Maybe a detailed, mandatory tagging system. That way a user can submit the code as, for example, Javascript; but the tagging system would provide suggestions like "JQuery" or "node.js"...etc
I dunno, just throwing things out there.

@Firstmate That's how StackOverflow does it and that kinda makes sense. But we already have tags and those can be most anything. I'm looking for a way to categorize the snippets by language or platform.

I'm planning to implement a new snippet editor where you add multiple snippets with multiple languages/markups. So you could add a snippet that has PHP, JavaScript and CSS or a snippet that has HTML5, CSS and node.js. Would we just keep the platform system we have and just show the same snippet under /js/snippets, /php/snippets, /css/snippets? The problem is that CSS or HTML5 aren't necessarily platforms but markup languages. Everything has a syntax, so should we make the term "Syntax" the all-encompassing term?

I posted this question to UX.StackExchange and got an interestion proposition. We can have Languages such as PHP, JavaScript, CSS, C++, etc. and when posting code that pertains to jQuery it would be Javascript Language and the jQuery Framework. So we'd have to add a new type called Frameworks.
