I would also put letters to journals and responses to letters that were published in this category. The idea would be to demonstrate "scholarly activity" but not peer-reviewed publication.

"Academic service" also seems to fit the goal of the posts as "curatorial," preserving or pointing to material online that is worth further discussion/preservation. I know that when I've written IMR posts, both coincidentally on Jericho, I've found myself trying to figure out questions about audience--am I writing primarily for other academics, for media savvy web surfers, for students, for all of the above? I like that the IMR posts are relatively open, and I wouldn't encourage tightening the focus, but as someone looking ahead to applying for tenure, I'm certainly invested in developing some consensus about how IMR fits within professional activity.
