I talked about it at Fosdem. I'm sorry about not talking about it it Mar de la
Plata. As an pityful excuse, I can say that I didn't talk about it because I
was in Europe at the time. I did however talk a lot on the #debconf IRC
channel about http://debtags.debian.net/search/, but I couldn't make wider
announcements because it's currently hosted in a machine that wouldn't hold
under a high load.

I know there's some people looking into screenshots; however, you don't need to
wait for screenshots to create a blend-specific set of categories and give it a
try.
