I don't know if there's an official equivalent but I still have a list
of the valid desktop categories according to freedesk.org, and which
ones are valid according to openSUSE. You can find it here:

http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/desktop_categories.php

I'm actually surprised it's still there as it was only supposed to be
there for a short while, sort of as a back-up for my later posts and a
couple of bug reports, and I had intended to eventually remove it. In
the end, I forgot all doing anything with it and this has reminded me
about it again. As such, I think I'll leave it up for a while
longer[0].

As for why it was created, the reason is in the thread that starts
here:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-01/msg00130.html

and continues here:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-02/msg00037.html


[0] I think I'll leave it a lot longer and, once development of 11.3
is well underway, run the same tests under Factory and add that to
the tables.
