 No, of course not, that's not what I said.  I'm talking only about that
 1) we probably need to decide where we put Twitter-like and other
 microblogging stuff from now on; and 2) we might move ports that do not
 require repocopies.
 
 I agree with you,
 
 What do you think about net-im as main category and www as second
 category?  And if we get more social programs maybe a virtual
 category for social tools?
 
 Touch choice, I would say.  As it is sometimes described as SMS of the
 Internet, both `net-im' and `www' seem to be appropriate categories.
 Twitter might be viewed as some Web-2.0'ish mix of IRC+ICQ+SMS, which
 kinda votes for `net-im', but 
[...]

ports/web20 *dr*

The question is, what is the key attribute that qualifies a port for the www/ 
category.
- Transporting data over http(s)
- Creating, Serving and displaying Web pages.

I would have guessed the latter.

So I would vote for ports/net because not everything that has some kind of 
interactivity is an instant messenger.

   Modified files:

   Added files:
 net-im/pino  Makefile distinfo pkg-descr pkg-plist 
   Log:
   Pino is a simple and fast Twitter and Identi.ca client using GTK2.
   It is written in Vala language and compiled to the native binary
   code.

Despite that I can imagine why would someone might want to put things
like Twitter clients under `instant messengers', doesn't `www' look a
better category for these?

Twitter might be viewed as some Web-2.0'ish mix of IRC+ICQ+SMS, which
kinda votes for `net-im', but recently lots of new sites started to use
Twitter to collect people's opinions on #sometopic, which IMHO makes it
more of webblog/commentary instrument of the Web, thus asking for `www'
category (of course, we are still talking about short and instant
messages, so `net-im' still makes sense).  I'm, frankly, not quite sure
myself.  I've CCed ports@ to see what other people have to say, I hope
you don't mind.
