Creating an "Insights" category
Looking at the "papers" category, I found that several papers do not fit the very purpose of this category (that's the reason I've not upvoted them). Nevertheless, they are relatively well written, well thought out, and probably interesting for new comers in electronics. I think for example most of the papers of Circuit fantasist deserve more upvotes, but this does not happen because they are not really relevant to the "paper" category, according to the expectations there (in my opinion).
What is lacking is an "Insights" category, whose characteristics could be discussed here. This category could include interesting views of well known topics, experiments that demonstrate (in an original manner) some known facts, good student tricks, pedagogy insights etc.

We have such low volume as it is, that I wouldn't want to see another category added at this time. It would only emphasize how little traffic there is.
Let's not make the same mistake that Photography made. They have lots of mostly-empty categories.
Some day when there is enough content, I could see spinning off a Tutorials category, and moving some of the existing Papers to it. We're not ready for that yet with a total of only 14 Papers.
