Organisation probably! If I had total charge, I would probably get into the subject folders and further divide it into IA posts, Exam posts and general posts as at the moment it's so jumbled! Oh, and due to my course, I would also of course separate Biology and ESS, make philosophy it's own folder and perhaps even a folder for Japanese in languages, that would be helpful!
