Use the same categories as KDE as they follow the XDG spec. Also if someone does install a program from an outside source, we can be relativity certain it will be placed in the right category. Finally it will promote continuity over various *buntu variants.

Some possible subcategories for the current "Internet" category could be

 * Communications - Email, IM, and various others like Ekiga
 * Downloading - FTP and Bittorrent clients, as well as stand-alone download managers.
 * Firefox & Thunderbird Extensions - There are enough of these to deserve their own category.
 * Web Browsers - Firefox, Epiphany, Midori, Arora, etc.
 * Webapps - All of the "Prisms" currently listed for Gmail, Facebook, etc.
 * News (RSS) Readers - Liferea etc.
 * Blogging - Drivel etc.

The last two categories are perhaps too small to be on their own. There would also need to be an 'other' group for things which don't fit anywhere else. The order of the list at this point is random and would need though. Comments?

This is largely consistent with the game categories at Newegg.com, although I simplified it a touch for areas we probably don't have a huge number of games yet.

Freshmeat and Sourceforge use the Trove system for organizing their stuff, I believed it's based off of this. -- jorge 2009-08-28 23:10:50
