Yeah - I have to admit I favour the shorter category names personally. If we are going to use a long one then I think it should be sci-visualisation (or I guess the American spelling sci-visualization) to keep it more general. There any quite a few apps that deal with visualisation such as gwyddion and some of the molecule rendering packages. It was intended mainly for the plotting packages that are mostly in media-gfx right now. I wasn't so sure on the long versus short, but if that is a policy we have as a herd I will stick to it. > > Oh, another one.
