Hi all,
I agree with Andreas here: we already have other ways to classify software, in
particular with the Debtags, and to group packages, in particular with the
Blends tasks, so fragmenting the sections will only introduce doubts and
controversy about multi-purpose software.
How about renaming the Science section “Science and Education” (or “Education
and Scicence”, it does not matter to me). The content of the ‘Section’ field in
the Debian control files could stay ‘science’, since if I understand the
problem, what matters here is the processed information that our users see on
our website.
Cheers,
