### Workshop

A [comment thread on the Sci Spec post](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/comments/thread/11478) points out that "workshop" has been used in some discussions to refer to two different things:

- a sandbox where you develop a question before posting it in Q&A
- developing broader ideas or compiling resources, such as with a wiki ("exploration" posts)

When I proposed the Workshop category here I was thinking of the former.  Does the community want to support both concepts?  Together or in separate categories?  I think there's solid support for the sandbox idea; what about the other?
