Okay, but 10 years ago that was the plan. But apparently it didn't go through. Maybe there was a good reason for it, and I'm fishing for that.

Ten years ago, the focus was entirely on developing and starting the Catawiki auctions. Since the privatization of LastDodo, the focus has returned to the development of the collector platform.
Theme, just like Countries and Persons, cross-sections and will certainly be developed at a later stage in LastDodo broadly.

 My stance after 10 years is still the same. You don't need themes to set up a 'thing'-oriented catalog. Themes are an alternative way to arrange objects. They are also right across the things categories. You can then offer the collector two views of his collection: one by type of things and then by theme (like now); on the other by theme and then on the types of objects.

There are many collectors who only collect "things" with a certain theme. They now have to keep checking each section to see if there is anything they like. It would be very nice if a thematic overview could be generated for all sections.


But since a central theme register/catalogue/section will probably never come, for my part the stamps Themes (including translations) can be loaded as an extra field.

In the past it has been said many times that the collector platform was doomed. Now look at what has been achieved since the privatization, so never say never :-)
