When I wrote the string

Networking (12): 1 2 | Managed windows (2): 1 | Controls (30): 1 2 3 | ...

I was just thinking to the categories I put in the database... I took them from the 
wxWidgets documentation page "classes by category": as you can see the first section is 
"managed windows", then "misc windows", etc.

At first I took a similar approach creating some categories like these but then I thought: 
maybe using wxWidgets documentation categories is better since our components are based on 
wx and maybe that in future some of them will be integrated directly into wx itself.

The current categories are:

'managed windows', 'miscellaneous windows', 'common dialogs', 'controls', 'window layout', 
'networking', 'stream classes', 'database classes', 'miscellaneous', 'utilities', 
'tutorials/wxdocs'

Unfortunately I see that I completely forgot to update the "category" listbox in the EDIT 
page of the website :(

Before repairing that I'd like to decide definitevely the main categories that the DB must 
support (in future others categories can be added to the DB without problems).

So, do you think it's best to stick to wx categories I listed above (maybe adding some new 
entry) or we should use another different set of categories ?
