#3 Add more levels of categorization
I know the categorization is based on the dpkg
databases, but I think you can:
1) Push for extra categorization information in Debian
lists, they could be added as optional data.
2) Start to maintain a database with this information.
Example: I don´t like Emacs nor VI, so is quiet
annoying to expand the "editors" section and find tons
of Emacs and VI related packages, on the other hand
Emacs users would like to see all the Emacs stuff
together in something like "editors/Emacs".
And if the second option is taked:
1) You can use a www site to enter this information.
2) You can e-mail Debian packagers automatically asking
for cooperation with the categorization (using a script).
3) You can ask users for feedback: Help indicating the
category of a package that doesn´t have category yet.
4) If the data is in a web it can be pulled used wget
5) Consider allowing users to submit screen shots and
add option "see screen shot"
