Nikos, I didn't notice your suggestion. Good to know that it's not an
isolated idea :)
My two cents.
In general I feel confortable with a nested model. We could provide a
first top-level grouping based on the qgis layer type the plugin
operates on, i.e. raster and vector. We can further subdivide them
into second-level generic groups like "import/export", "analysis",
etc. I would avoid groups like "terrain analysis" or "hydrology" at
this level, even if this is a common approach, and would let them
reside in lower levels... but I'm not sure whetrer it makes sense or
it's just a subjective feeling.

+ some more general suggestions:
- no more than 2 levels - if required then (max.) 3 levels
- icons can be smaller (or at least have the option between e.g.: small,
medium, large)
- use the empty space on the very bottom panel (left from coordinate:,
scale:, [box]Render, CRS status button). Maybe merge with the very top
panel (the file - edit - view - ... - help menus)?
Nikos
+1 for all of the above.
I'd suggest to use just three categories for the plugins at this stage:
Vector, Raster and General, where "General" would contain things like
Grass, ManageR, GDALTools.

Hi all.
In these days I was watching my qgis plugins toolbar growin' and
growin'... That's good, it means a lot of good code is being written,
but I was wondering if it's the time to consider organizing the
plugins under common task/feature/etc groups. It is a common structure
in many GIS desktops: GRASS groups them under different "namespaces"
(r.*, v.*, d.*, i.*, etc.), SAGA use data-types or kind of analysis
(i.e. "grid", "vector", "table", "terrain analysis" modules, etc.),
and so on for many others (MapWindows, or commercial solutions like
ArcGIS Desktop).
Wouldn't it be useful for QGis too? Has this been discussed?
