| Yeah - I have to admit I favour the shorter category names personally. |

If we |

| 8 |
sci-visualisation (or I |
| 9 |
| guess the American spelling sci-visualization) to keep it more |
| 10 |
general. There |
| 11 |
| any quite a few apps that deal with visualisation such as gwyddion and |
| 12 |
some |
| 13 |
| of the molecule rendering packages. It was intended mainly for the |
| 14 |
plotting |
| 15 |
| packages that are mostly in media-gfx right now. |

have as |

It stands for much of the tree outside sci as well (app-mobilephone, |
| 22 |
app-emulation, app-accessibility, games-simulation et al.). After much |
| 23 |
discussion in the past, probably on -dev, it's just as easy for somebody |
| 24 |
to tab-complete one or the other. But one name makes instant sense to |
| 25 |
anyone looking at it, and the other requires some thought to figure out. |

Thanks, |
