I've now finalized the subcategories for 2.0.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=349&rev1=348>
Ironically enough, "Sound & Video" is one department I don't think we
can split at the moment, because there's such a crossover between music
players and movie players.

** Summary changed:

- more categories needed in "Get free Software" pane
+ "Get Software" category lists are too long

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
- 
  Not so much a bug, more of a feature request: the category lists are too
  long, they could be split down a bit to make software a bit easier to
  find - this could be done with subcategories. Having to sift through a
  long list of applications, 3/4 of which aren't relevant to the task in
  mind, is a long and laborious process - splitting the lists into small
  "bite size" chunks makes it easier to navigate (and is less
  intimidating), especially for novices.
  
  Example: Sound and video could open up into "Sound Editing", "Video
  Editing", "Media Playback" and "Music Creation".

+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Genre>: "These are the
+ departments and subsections, in the order in which they should be
+ presented when presented together..."

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
