Andrew already brought up the too-many-repositories problem, maybe I
should revitalize the other repository discussion: The
application-categories-are-useless one.
We still do not have a category list that would be just right for
internet tablets, but that's a difficult problem and I'm not tackling it
right now. I'm aiming for the low-hanging fruit, namely packages that
A) have a category to themselves or
B) shouldn't be visible in Application Manager
Fixing these should be quite easy and would enhance the usability of
Application Manager significantly by halving the number of categories.
If you are a maintainer of one of these packages, please try to fix the
problems. If you think I'm wrong, please explain. Thanks!

gnokii: comm (how about Communication or Commandline)
load-applet: utilities (how about Accessories or Utilities)
