RE: Sub-forum for HP RPL graphing calculators
Not sure if the moderators are seeking more input on this topic, but here goes.

I think adding RPN and RPL sub-Fora is a good idea; it lets folks focus more on the topics they enjoy, with less chaff to wade through.

That said, I strongly feel this only makes sense if we accept that all existing material stays where it is (mostly in the General Forum). Otherwise, it's an impossible task to expect Dave (or anyone!) to search through many thousands of posts and decide where things should belong. If a thread concerns 'which is better? RPN or RPL' (not to say this ever happens here...) then where would one put it?

The only other "guidance" we should agree on is are these Fora for HP-only families? For example, I think the WP-34S/31S could be discussed in the RPN forum, but this would then split material on these machines between RPN and "Not quite HP Calculators - but related". Personally, I think it's best to keep a family within a single Forum, again so I know where to look.

I suppose the new ones could be "HP RPN" and "HP RPL" to make it clear for new members.

Just some thoughts to provoke discussion...
