Debian menu sections name consistency check
Hello Debian L10N English team,
We are proposing a new Debian menu structure (see bug #361418).
We need your help to review the section names in the draft #2
(attached).
At this point we would like you check that the menu sections name are
consistent from a grammatical point of view (that we are not mixing name
and adjective, singular and plural, etc.). For example should the
section for scientific software be named Science, Sciences, or
Scientific ?
Thanks in advance,
--
