Hi Brian, I forgot to answer you. Thanks for your suggestion. It's a possibility as well. The standard desktop categories are: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html I didn't consider it as a first proposal for two reasons: - It is designed for applications that have a menu entry. So it needs to be amended for all non-GUI packages: it means we do not follow strictly the standard. - These categories are completely different from the current RPM groups. It means *all* of Mageia packages need to be changed. The advantages: - It makes it easier to have only one classification policy. - It is a standard (although not for packages, but still). - Users can make more sense of it, since the menu and rpm group match - Icons already exist So this is a possible alternative, but requires even more commitment from the packagers. -- Malo
