Nice work Tariq - it really is a great resource and demonstration of the breadth of skills members have

We're still in the terrible twos...  :-)

It does seem like yesterday...  What strikes me looking back is how much effort went into all these projects from so many people.   Lots of really amazing projects fall under the radar because things move so fast.   

Perhaps a category around sensors & actuators?

It would also be nice to use categories that mirror the ones that we use for webinars:

Webinar Recordings

I like how webinars are now organized and how project videos are handled in the element14 space:

Project Videos

This is a first step to doing something similar.   With tags for each of the competition spaces already, the hope is to make it be much easier to navigate around projects.  I did see some feedback on the members poll.  Searching around categories of projects is something definitely looking to improve.

It would be great if the categories were listed at the top with links to the corresponding material section.

My new aim is to have a project in each of these categories.....

Lets see...

in animatronix I could have A Flying Purple People Eater

in Automation I could have Smarter Life Challenge - The Henrietta Project - Final Summary  or Forget Me Not - IQU  or   The Spice of Pi Blog Doug 12

in Automotive I could have Vehicle Simulator - VTR / RTR  or  The Konker Connection - Blog 16 - Wrap-up Discussion

in experimenting I could have Keysight Technologies U1282A Digital Multimeter - Applications - Water Level Sensing

     or Texas Instruments FDC2214 Capacitance to Digital - Review

     or Stirling Blue - Project Summary - Blog 14

In health I could have Safe and Sound - Invisible Hazardous Environmental Factors Monitoring System - blog 1 of 23  or Sudden Impact - Crown Tools and Heart Reactor - updates 1-39

or Amphenol Air Quality Engineering Dev Kit - Review

in movies I could have Pi IoT - Star Trek IoT Alcove - Blog 1

in LED I could have LED Road Test - Dodecahedron Light Fixture  Blog 3 Nov12  or  LED Road Test - Wearable Interactive Lights - Blog 4 - Nov 13  or LED Road Test - Interactive Trophy - Blog 5 Nov 16  or LED Road Test - Making Household Objects Interactive - Blog 6 Nov 22  or LED Road Test - Star Wars - The Force Awakens - Blog 8 Nov 28

in power I could have The KLINGMAGON Subspace Probe

in remote monitoring I could have Long Range Sensor Array - Pi IoT  Blog 7

in robotics I could have Sixth Sense GraffitiBot - blog 1

in wearables I could have Safe and Sound - Invisible Hazardous Environmental Factors Monitoring System Conclusions - blog 23

I'm still missing a few - need to get busy...

This is incredible. Have there really been so many projects created? It seems like just yesterday that the Project 14 program started..

These archive/index posts are a useful reference.

Wow, what an amazing and extremely useful list.

I was reflecting at the breadth and depth of all the various categories and was wondering what new avenues could be explored. I could only come up with one, i.e. Indoor Positioning or Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), but I'm sure others would think of others.

This category is interesting as two competing technologies have entered the fray, namely: Ultra Wide Band and Bluetooth 5.1. Both offer centimetre accuracy. But how easy is it to get right, I wonder.

I believe even WiFi can be used for indoor location determination etc. Older technologies such as Bluetooth 4.x can also have been used (via Beacons) for similar applications.

So, maybe this would make for a project or design challenge down the line as the cost and complexity of this technology has reduced somewhat.

When someone now asks the question "I'm new to electronics but don't know what to build" we know exactly where to direct them for 'just a few' ideas .

I agree with dougw that list was really long. Shows the great talents and interest of members on element 14.

The categories are a great idea and the categories are well chosen.

It takes a pretty big effort to compile such a list - thanks for doing it.

Perhaps sensors should be a category or maybe it should just be covered in many other categories.

It really is dougw .   This is still very much a work a progress.  Will be archiving Arduino projects (from all the spaces) in a similar way so that it will make this content easier to find and share with other spaces.  Also will be working with the rest of the team to improve the overall layout and make it easier to navigate and highlight all the great content around these two programs.   A lot of work still to be done but this will also tie in with the end of year stuff we'll be working on as we head into the new year.  

If you have any suggestions for categories of projects to organize projects around let me know.   There's still some that are missing that will be putting in but think we got most of the big stuff now.
