Hi 

Last2kn0 asks me to come up with my problem here on this list. So here I 
am.... ;-)

Trying to summarize the background:

The Education Team wants to categorize their applications into 
subcategories to get the following advantages:

* Reduce the size of 
  http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications/Desktop 
  in the end we hopefully can create a portal like wiki page linking 
  to the different sub-categories.

* Use the same Categories as the freedesktop.org Standard suggests. So 
users who find an application (for example) in his Education -> Art 
desktop menu, can find the same application - and even more - in the 
corresponding wiki category ([[Category:Education Art]] in this 
example).

In the result we will get around 17-20 new Subcategories. As Last2kn0  
told me, this will not match with the current goal of the wiki team to 
reduce the categories.

Second problem: As nearly every application can be used in an 
educational background, this needs adaptations to the current package 
descriptions in the wiki. We need to add the corresponding education 
category to applications like (for example) Audacity. As you can see:
http://en.opensuse.org/Audacity will at least have one additional 
Category in the bottom of the page: "Education Art". Perhaps we can 
remove the "Education Applications" Category in the end - but this is 
currently no option for us.

The main parts of the discussion can be found here:
http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Last2kn0
and here:
http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:Lrupp

As the education team wants to release the first version for openSUSE 
10.3 in a few weeks, it would be fine if I can get a "final" decision 
from the wiki team if we can go on with our work or not.

Regards,
 Lars
