Hello,
As we discussed for a while, the media-sound/ category has grown very
large and it may be a good idea to split it.
Right now, it contains audio players, editing software, converters,
sound systems and a lot of other utilities related to sound. Splitting
that up would make looking up software easier for users (e.g. if I want
to take a look at what audio players we have, I don't need to see all
other programs).
What do you think? What new category/-ies do you suggest?
I'd been always against the current classification. It's a bit
confusing to me (it's just my -very subjective- view, of course).
I'd gladly remove the "media-" thing as a whole, and do something like:
gfx-viewers
gfx-editors
gfx-plugins
gfx-libs
sound-players (and maybe sound-radio)
sound-editors
sound-plugins
sound-libs
video-players (and, maybe, only maybe video-tv)
video-editors
video-plugins
video-libs
I think 'audio' works better than 'sound' for category prefix of
audio/sound related apps.
Also, leave video-* in media-video/ and media-libs/ They can fit fine
in there. Plus video-players are multimedia players (they don't play
back just video, for instance).
