I dont think "importance" should play a role on the Index Page. Thats
what the main page is for. The index should:
- offer a structure to search for things in a hierarchy
- allow to attribute reponsibility for content in the wiki

"Development", "Documentation" and "NLC" are right on the toplevel
because they contain so many subcategories themselves (>15). "Wiki" is
there because it contains important meta-information.

However, "Development" is problematic in itself, as people use
different definitions. Some use it for stuff doing development on top
of OOo as a "blackbox"-framework via the API (Extensions, Basic macros
etc.), while others use it for development on OOos internals itself. In
the end this dilutes the category and its use.
Good categories would seperate:

- end users (category:enduser)
- Developers using OOo as a blackbox platform (extensions, macros,
  etc.) (category:ApiDevelopment ?)
- OOo internal development (category:CoreDevelopment ?)

But its still a long way to get there.

Best Regards,

Bjoern
