I've just (partly) finished a Pattern-Selector proposal for new installation/software management.

It looks pretty sweet but from an usability point of view (even though I'm no usability expert, just gut feeling), wouldn't it be a better idea to have a 2-staged selection ? I mean having a first list (e.g. icons in a first scrollable column on the left) for the categories ("Base technologies", "Desktop functions", ...) and then the detail on the right ? Drawback would be that you can't see everything at once, but you can't do that anyway because the list of options is extremely long.
Even if $this one is finished, it's still work in progress: * We'd like not to use RichText * Expandable pattern-groups * Pattern names printed in bold (?) * Possibility to hide the pattern description (?)
All ideas are welcome :)
cheers
