1 well like i promised we've surpassed the # of pkgs in dev-perl ... that was
2 cool but now we need to refocus ...
3
4 with app-games sitting at ~330, app-emulation sitting at ~90, and dev-games at
5 ~20, we need to re-organize. 3 categories for ~440 packages is not enough
6 imo and many other people agree (browse the forums and see Bug 20328 if you
7 dont believe me).
8
9 the question is how many categories should we have ? well i setup a small
10 site to help with this and get community feedback as to what would be a good
11 start for new categories. the results are here:

13 for those too lazy to browse to the site, the proposal is this:
14 * app-emulation [28] (basically leave the non-game related pkgs here)
15 * dev-games [17]
16 * games-action [40]
17 * games-arcade [38]
18 * games-board [37]
19 * games-emulation [59]
20 * games-engines [7]
21 * games-fps [48]
22 * games-kids [8]
23 * games-misc [29]
24 * games-mud [12]
25 * games-puzzle [32]
26 * games-roguelike [12]
27 * games-rpg [11]
28 * games-server [18]
29 * games-simulation [10]
30 * games-sports [7]
31 * games-strategy [18]
32 * games-util [7]
33
34 yeah that's a lot of categories, but we got a lot of games ...
