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

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.
