Thanks and congratulation !

 To me it looks like we have 10 categories now:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Category:Categories That said, a deep category 
tree is not necessily better than a broad one. Tags, which are quite popular 
these days, form a category tree of depth 1. On the wiki issues page, I 
suggested a facet-based categorization, with top categories and only one 
level of subcategories.

  I am not sure where Kempelen, who is spearheading the recategorization 
effort, wants to go. I think he is looking for continuity with the existing 
mess and purposely trying to avoid a full rewamp of the category tree.

Yours,
Minh
