Cohomology of Grothendieck topology
My naïve cartoon picture of the construction of étale cohomology is this:
start with a scheme, associate to it a Grothendieck topology (making a site).
A functor from the Grothendieck topology to ...

difference between the small and big étale/flat/... site
What is the difference between the small and the big étale (or flat or syntomic or ...) site? How does the cohomology vary? When should I use which one? Up to now, I have always used the small sites.

Etale homology via étale cosheaves
Can one develop a theory of étale homology via étale cosheaves? The hope is that this would, for example, return the Tate module (and not its dual) for an elliptic curve, and it would return group ...
