30. Trove-Like Categories Proposal:
Add Freshmeat.net or SourceForge-like trove categories with topics programming languages, etc. As opposed to keywords/labels/tags they are a nested tree, and will also be limited to a given list. This will help in being able to better browse CPAN instead of the old and heavily under-maintained long modules list. For example "Programming Language :: Lisp", "Intended Audience :: Emacs Users", "Operating System :: GNU", "Topic :: Editors".

Comments: * Freshmeat no longer has Trove categories, they were replaced by tags. --Chorny 15:40, 27 September 2009 (BST)
