What about other people?
How would a LaTeX person expect to find things?
What about a Mac Application programming guy?
Well, let’s try to see which profiles we can come up with:
1. Web developer
a. Client side (HTML, JavaScript, CSS)
b. Server side (PHP, Java, Rails)
c. Sysadmin (Apache, Lighttp)
2. Writer (is Markdown, Textile, etc. here?)
a. Typesetting
3. Programmer
a. Scripting Language
b. Compiled Language
c. Frameworks (maybe this should just be under “related” for
the language it extends)
d. Building (?)
5. Musician
6. Scientist
a. Graphics (mostly plotting, and Context Free is probably
not really for scientists, maybe “academics” is more appropriate)
b. Typesetting (overlaps with 2.a)
c. Other (like Matlab, R, etc.)
7. Version control
8. Data storage
a. General purpose (JSON, YAML, Property List, XML, Ini)
b. Specific format (if stuff ends up here, the other
categories have failed)
9. Mac specific (MacPorts, Installer, AppleScript, Xcode,
Transmit, FileMerge)
10. Productivity (GTD, TODO, Remind)
11. Third party support
a. Wiki
b. Application (Vectorscript, Quake)
I know 3.a versus 3.b will give rise to debate, and for the more
esoteric languages, there probably is no preconceived notion of
what the language is (like e.g. both Python and AppleScript are
considered scripting languages, despite both of them generally
being compiled).
This really looks a lot easier to use.
I'd say that blogging would fall in under writing and web developer.
Maybe in an other/miscellaneous sub-tag.
Textile, Markdown, etc… would be related to blogging and html, but
listed under a sub-tag of writing.
Wiki related stuff seems like it should go somewhere under writing
too, but related to web.
I'd like everything to be available without having to rely on the
related system. The related thing should just be a shortcut for
searching for a tag of the name of the thing the button is next to.
(EG: HTML Related button does a search for the tag "HTML")
So, with that in mind, i'd say that frameworks in general should get
a sub-category like this, yes.
Maybe "Interpreted Language" instead of scripting language.
