Yeah - I have to admit I favour the shorter category names personally. If we |
13 |
are going to use a long one then I think it should be sci-visualisation (or I |
14 |
guess the American spelling sci-visualization) to keep it more general. There |
15 |
any quite a few apps that deal with visualisation such as gwyddion and some |
16 |
of the molecule rendering packages. It was intended mainly for the plotting |
17 |
packages that are mostly in media-gfx right now. |

I wasn't so sure on the long versus short, but if that is a policy we have as |
20 |
a herd I will stick to it. |

There are quite a few possibles - I was going to look at drawing up a list of |
28 |
some of them. I am sure I won't catch them all though. |
