Based on our discussions so far, it seems that we have identified 3 new
categories/subcategories that would be useful to add.
1) System->Multimedia Libraries
There are a lot of libraries to support graphics (GIF, TIF, JPEG, RSVG),
video (theora), and audio (musicbrainz, ogg/vorbis, flac, speex,
libcanberra). It would be nice to put these into a single subcategory
and not clutter up System->Libraries with all of these.
2) Desktop->Theming
A place to put pacakges which do not contain any code, but simply contain
skins, themes, etc.
3) Desktop->Core
A category to place packages which make up the desktop itself. Things
like the panel, default applets. Perhaps this would be a better category
for gnome-session, and we could get rid of Desktop->Session and instead
use a slightly broader category for foundational desktop modules.
Just my thoughts,
Brian
