+1 to this proposal. Also, how _new_ catagories are created? For example, if someone wants to add a class that belongs to (let's say) and "Algorithms" category, can a developer assign it a category not in the list? I got some classes I would like to release via PEAR, but there is no good category for them in the existing schema. They are collenction classes: list, set, tuple and bag, and should be in something like "Utility", even a "Miscellaneous" could be OK (although not as good). --- Martin Jansen <mail@martin-jansen.de> wrote: > Hi, > > IMO it would be nice to have the possibility to assign a package to more > than just one category.
