We had the idea of adding http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Phones instead 
the two phone names. I liked that.

+1

It's already there, called Applications CATEGORY.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Category:Applications

All what you say is there. Please note the List Pages on the top of the 
articles (above A), there you can see we have too many of Article List 
Pages. (Also mentioned on 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wiki_Issues#Redundant_Pages.

oops, wiki editor know-how should go to discussion page I think

"Our reference standard here is the Freedesktop application category 
names. "  (That's on Applications category description.)
