So, the Library/Database page would look like (crude drawing): +----------------------------------+ | Library 1 | +----------------------------------+ +----------------------------------+ | Library 2 | +----------------------------------+ and so on (for large catagories, it probably should be split into multiple pages, but that's not important). Now, say Library 2 also supports special features for accessing the database over a network. So, you add Library/Networking: +----------------------------------+ | Networking 1 | +----------------------------------+ +----------------------------------+ | Library 2 | +----------------------------------+ which is a waste of space. I don't think this really gains you anything, either, because if someone's looking for the database, they wouldn't look under networking; all it has gained is a cluttered networking catagory where you spend most of your time just sifting through things that are marginally related to networking. I think a good litmus test for this is: If you had to describe it in one sentence, without adding a lot of marketing blurb or commas (say you're describing it to someone you respect >;'), how would you do it? Generally, one catagory should provide a fairly good fit, and you can elaborate on additional features or uses. A keyword field for project entries + a keyword search facility is the better way to achieve this (it should still be fairly conservative about the keywords assigned, though... remember, the goal isn't to pimp your guile thing to every person who comes looking, it's to help people find what they're actually looking for). -- Greg
