 Here is our organization then:
- Each application has its page
- The page has an ApplicationBox template between <onlyinclude> tags
- The "List of X applications" just lists the application pages
- There is a manual comprehensive directory with short (~one 
line) descriptions
- "Category:X" includes the content of "List of X Applications"

See "List of Internet Applications"  and "Category:Internet Applications"

Yeah, table formatting is so last century...

Yes of course, I think.

> What goes to the application page? We leave them all different for now?

Nope, let's start moving the templates there.
