I took another pass through the page and added more sub categories. I think visually it's good to use the various hx sizes to make it easy to see the hierarchy, but it requires more scrolling up and down than I would prefer. I moved it to a 4 column layout to attempt to condense it more and it's not too bad. If fits ok on my screen, but if too wide, we could drop back to 3 columns.
Please take a look and send feedback on the categories and/or layout (or update the page it is a wiki after all....)

The only comment I would make is that all the categories on the bottom of that page can be merged into the list of the main body of the page. We also need to represent sub-categories. For example Pom::Encoding which was there but seems to be gone. In the proposals pages for example can use the categories to link together proposals. Like the work Herve is doing to clean up all the XML encoding. I'll take another look too, but it's lookings good. The two column layout looks much better. On 3 Jul 07, at 6:12 PM 3 Jul 07, Brian E.
