Publishing in Freedesktop category have this spec: PublishingDesktop Publishing applications and Color Management toolsGraphics or Office and Office: OfficeAn office type application >From Additonal Categories ( http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html) one could use: LiteratureLiterature softwareEducation or Science or TextEditorA text editorUtility When I compare with Scrivener which is a similar application it only has "Office" listed and it ends up in our Office menu when installed. I think Literature would be somewhat appropriate, but then it was pointed to main categories Education or Science, which to me seem a bit far fetched. I'd go for Office as no better alternative seem to exist. That would put it outside the Ubuntu Studio menu, I'm not sure if that's a problem? /Jimmy
