I'm sorry I don't have the time to participate personally, but should you need something to complement Trove categories, there are several facets in Debtags that are pretty well defined and useful. These are general purpose facets that are imo ready for prime time, and very useful: role, implemented-in, interface, system, uitoolkit, works-with, works-with-format, hardware. These are domain-specific facets that support important use cases: accessibility, admin, devel, field, game, iso15924, mail, network, protocol, office, science, security, sound, web. The "use" facet is one with a lot of potential, but which requires more thinking: it could be a good starting point for an interesting discussion. If you need anything debtags-related, you know where to find me: I hope I'll be able to respond in a timely manner.
