Topic Responsibilities

I'll jump in here. I'm going to make a bid for 1) CoPs and 2) games and virtual worlds and maybe 3) social media. I'm a little uneasy with the categorizations. I know we need to start somewhere but there is some overlap, e.g., would augmented reality gaming go in gaming or mobile learning? I assume we're up for discovering that we wish to merge, or perhaps even divide, topics. I like the idea of fewer top level topics and more differentiation within them, e.g., Games/Sims/Virtual Worlds... and then a break out of each. After all, in Minecraft you have a virtual world but you also have the capability to build and deploy logic gates to do things like trap ghosts. That's a simulation...inside a virtual world.
