Rita Freudenberg commented on SQ-533:
-------------------------------------

Selecting categories goes in two directions: 
* it should help viwers selecting what to look at 
* it should help rankers to select the age range for a given project

This discussion arised because *rankers* have problems to choose the appropriate age range for projects when we have an upper limit. By avoiding that, we would support rankers.

Would there be negative effects for viewers? What would happen with the "all ages" projects when you click "sorted by age" in the showcase?

> People are having problems with the age appropriate recommendation. Most of the projects have lower limit but not upper one. Kids are very sensitive to the labels of projects, so when we say 12 to 14, an older kid will be reluctant to touch it. It is difficult to decide which age group to direct some of the projects, even when the grade that the math in it is taught is known.
