Naming of Categories
Apropos of the Sequence of Categories can I suggest some standardization of the naming of categories. In particular, I would suggest renaming "Q&A" as "Questions". Yes, questions have answers, but then Challenges have responses, so it is not necessary to name both components in the category name.
Abbreviations and initialisms are problematic as category names, unless they have become more common than the words they abbreviate (scuba, for instance). I struggle to recognize Q&A as a category name, and the issue with be far worse for anyone ESL.
Second, categories should be subsidiary to the thing the are categories of. This is a Q&A site. Q&A is not a category, it is the whole thing.
Yes, that makes the category name "Questions" problematic. But what is the alternative? "General"? That is too general. Same goes for "Main". So unless someone (hopefully) has a better idea, "Questions" seem to be the best alternative.

"Questions" seems better than "Q&A", yes.
Not everything on the site will be questions. For example, a site can have a blog or a set of resources. Some sites will have sandboxes, which are proto-questions but not questions anybody should be answering yet.
