So with a new top-level category, I can easily get to 3 or 4 top level items, and then under applications reduce it to the core set of 5 products. Can we get anywhere close by combining products?
I had a look again. If the aim is to avoid presenting lists of more than 10 items, there is no way to do it by moving products.
With categories, we should have a category for application-specific bugs (with the 6 components only but let's please improve their description so that it includes the application name!), a category for cross-application bugs ("framework", "chart", "formula", "scripting", "vba", "bibliographic", "gsl", "ui"...) and other categories for websites and so on.
If you manage to find a proposal for a taxonomy that is clear for new bug reporters and efficient for experienced QA people too it would surely be nice. But I think we'll have to see the proposed taxonomy tree on this list, since I cannot find something really clear (for example, my proposal above would have the problem that a bug with charts in Calc should be reported in "generic"-"chart" rather than "application"-"calc", but people would use the latter; and ultimately this is probably not going to hurt QA or development too much!).
