The problems with categories is that since each project is very specific, it's pretty difficult to group them into meaningful groups. For instance if we make a category "Multimedia" then a lot (read : too many) projects might fit in that category, with some samples such as Red5 or Sandy which have very different audience. If OTOH you make more precise categories like "3D" or "Video" then you'll end up with 1-2 projects per category. It would be an interesting exercice to list all the projects on OSFlash and try to get them fit into 4-6 meaningful categories, but I'm not sure that's feasible. Providing a short one-line description for each project is more precise and helpful, especially when the project maturity and target audience are clearly specified.
