+1! People would tag their poms, then you could narrow down your search
by clicking tags available within a sub category. Here is an example of
such a browser:

Wouldn't a folksonomy approach to categories be better? I can't imagine any

Systems like delicious seem to do pretty well with people supplying their
own tags?

Subject: Re: categorization for a project
I agree with using an existing categorization, but I don't think this
is something for 2.0, I'd better wait for 2.1.

I think it would be most useful to adopt an existing category hierarchy,
and if possible either supply or refer to a web page that defines each
and gives some examples. One question: how will the syntax for
nested/sub-categories look? Will it be:
<category>database/browser</category>
or is it even useful to get into such sub-classifications? (personally,
I think it is, and the tool could aggregate all general and subcategory
matches when viewed directly...)
One thing I am a little concerned with is getting this design figured
out as soon as is humanly possible, particularly if we intend to provide
this for 2.0-final, since -beta-1 will have to be feature-complete, and
it none too far away...
