How do you set up a new yahoo group category?

Question

We want to start a group around specific neighborhood development concerns - our category does not fall into any of those on the list.

Answer 1

You can't start a new category in Yahoo Groups yourself.  You have to convince Yahoo Groups staff to do it.  The best place to suggest such a new category is on the Yahoo Groups Suggestion Board at http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=group... .

Answer 2

since your group is targeted towards a specific local group, you're not going to get a large number of searches for it by the general population of yahoo,  probably the Regional-  Cultures & Community category would work. all sorts of groups per state/ town lists there
