More fine-tuned Content Type choices when submitting a post.
Currently I find it difficult to categorize a certain subset of posts. This is especially related to articles that don't fall into the Current Event/Analysis/Expression categories. While a lot of them can lodged into 'Current Event', I don't really feel like it does a decent job of categorization, since it seems that should be more news related. For example an 'Announcement' category would be nice for things like press releases. I realize it's hard to have a set of categories that will fit all types of posts, but at the moment it feels like a lot of categories don't really get used, while other categories end up compensating for missing ones.
Edit: Perhaps a better solution is to also have a set of Generic content categories if something more specific doesn't fit in the existing set.

Custom categories would fix this IMO. Have users make some custom ones and then filter out current categories based on user made modifications.
