Yep, I agree with you. It is a work in progress.
I would even go one step further: We should move the current SVN to a
well structured git. (I never used git before but I guess my lazyness
would let me stick to SVN for ever if I would have no strong reason to
start with git - so just force me to learn it. ;-))
while working at a package at the moment I was not able to decide where to
put it: physics or chemisty? It would fit into both tasks perfectly.
I think it doesn't really matter if we have problems to categorize a
package from time to time.
Well, there are definitely cases where a package perfectly fits into
two categories. This is no problem for the meta packages (just list the
package in both) but in the VCS it is. I admit I have no really good
idea whether this can be resolved in the category based VCS layout.
If there is such a thing like "symlinks" in GIT that you put a package
under one category and then symlink from the other it might be possible -
but I don't know whether it is really good.

[2] I already started to work on that but it's not uploaded yet. I'll announce
it as soon as it's something readable.
Can I participate on this ?
Sure. You just became a member of cdd alioth team. Feel free to edit the
tasks files or whatever you might like to change. Just ask if anything remains
unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
