Yes, exactly, but i would break the larger groups into further sub-groups:

games
   role playing games
   board games
   shoot-em-up games
   card games
gps applications
   mapping
   logging
   output parsing
multimedia
   video
     video playback
   sound
     voice recognition
     text to speech
     equalizer
     music players
       mplayer
       mpg123

etc

(Can we add the nice little navigation menu, or do we need Brenda or Roh 
to do that since it's outside of the wiki?)

Any category with less than 8 members can have the sub-categories on the 
same page, like our original Developer Applications page did.

(Looking at your work, I think it might be nice to have a single word 
stating the code maturity, perhaps only 3 simple options like prototype, 
functional, mature.)

(Also, since some applications won't run on all distros, it might be 
smart to have a line indicating which distros this app will work with.)

Argh! Another one of those manually created lists I so hate. Poorly 
written description as well. Argh! I propose we get rid of this page as 
soon as we've confirmed that all programs discussed here are mentioned 
in the appropriate place: Applications on the applications page, all 
other programs in the relevant sections.
