You'd need a bit of imagination Jerome! :) Meeting Manager --> category = "Organisation", "People", "Scheduling". It would be the same category as apps like the Calendar app and maybe the Scheduler app too. Expense Report --> category = "Human Resources" Polls --> category = "Reporting". Maybe in the same category as the Stats app. In any case since everything is an app you need categories and not just "Applications" which doesn't mean much at all since you'd need to justify why some apps have their own special categories and why others go in the one named "stuff", err.... "Applications"... ;) Thanks -Vincent > Jerome. > > > >>> >>> - On >> http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Administration/sectionView.pngI >> really don't like that the fields don't span the full horizontal space >> available.
