I think it's a good idea to expand the categories' descriptions (found in the corresponding metadata.xml files) with more accurate descriptions of which packages are welcome to fit in which categories. The current descriptions are very vague and aren't probably in the best shape to bring users' a good idea what certain category is about and what packages are to be found there. This can also be an issue for (new) ebuild-writers (either user-contributed ebuilds or just gentoo developers that are not sure about it either). This is of course checked by a gentoo developer if new ebuilds are to be submitted via the bugzilla, but I still think we should provide a better understanding of the categories. If expanding the metadata.xml files does not seem a good idea, we should at least make a little bit more comprehensive description somewhere in the gentoo.org/doc/ or wiki.gentoo.org pages. What do you think about it? Regards, Denis M.
