Please help to improve the http://www.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE:Browse
page, which is exactly the page you are talking about, modelled on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Browse, and is actually linked
to on the Documentation page as "Browse Articles by Category".

But I don't think Categorization will be the total solution. Wikipedia
is great, but it is an Encylopedia. Opensuse.org is the site of a
distro, we need more structure.

There were discussions on the opensuse-wiki list a couple of months
ago now, they basically came to the conclusion that we need to update
the navigation bars side and top, to reduce the level of pages
required to navigate the site. And I think we need to modify the front
page, as it is currently underutilised in providing useful information
and navigation. Both these tasks require staff. Maybe we should run a
design-the-front-page competition.
