Re: Debian Menu policy leads to confusion
Section: Apps/CD and DVD
Description: Software for CD/DVD burning and related tools
Example apps: graveman, gnome-baker, dvdisater
We should probably try to be more generic here.
What about merging this with File Management? (dvdisaster would fit into
System just fine)
Well we could have a sections Apps/Net/News
I was afraid that there are too few packages that would fit here, but
after taking a closer look, it does not seem to be the case.
Maybe Apps/Net/Monitoring ?
I will include it.
does antiviruses have menu entries ?
Yes. Look at avscan. There are also at least a couple of GUI antivirus
projects (Gnome antivirus, ClamTK) that may end up in Debian one day.
Section: Apps/Webmaster
Description: Web development tools
Example apps: bluefish, screem, gphpedit
Maybe that could be Apps/Editors/Web ?
We could also have a Apps/Editors/I18N for programs for l10n people.
I was thinking of separating web development tools, because there are
quite a lot of them and they also include (for example) tools for
uploading websites that are not editors.
Editors is probably not worth splitting, because it would include many
different tools sorting them into sections might be difficult. A good
example is subtitle editor. It is an editor, but what subsection would
it belong in?
Could you post the tree of sections ?
I will edit my draft an post it as soon as I will have enough time.
We will probably have to make simulations, but I think adding
subsubsections produce on average more usable menus that adding
subsections at this stage.
I agree.
