# Make vFolder categories
def choose_categories(section, hints='', name=''):
    cats = []
    hints = hints.split(',')
    sectbits = section.split('/')

    # Definitely need more work here for other Debian menu bits -
    # notably hints
    if section == 'Apps/Shells':
[...]
    elif section == 'Apps/Math':
        cats.extend(['Math', 'Scientific'])

What exactly will that mean? I'm personally sick of having to stick all
my scientific apps into 'Apps/Math' and would like to see 'Apps/Science'
RSN. Is 'Scientific' just some sort of tool-tip or rather a proper
category?

Basically, I just vote for a seperate discussion of the Menu hierachy
before everything will be carved in stone/policy, if possible.

thanks for all the work so far,

Michael
