I know it's a bit problematic since we use e.x.o also as a documentation place, not just for installable things, so I'm not sure what is the best thing to do.
With the 'project' logic we would need to mark also "XWiki Office", "XWiki Eclipse", etc. as having the "project" category. Also "Skins" are not installable with EM.
