I'll give my opinion here, but I'm running very low on time at the moment.
So, I'll probably not participate in much of this discussion untill
(well?) after 1998/1/7. Joey Hess also has a great feel for these things, and
I will gratefully adopt any desicion he makes (assuming he wants 
to participate)

Personally, I would say that "xmaddressbook" should then be moved to
Apps/Tools. I also think that "PIM" isn't very clear. I would prefer something
like "Personal", that at least gives you an idea as to what it is.

If netscape is a `PIM', then chimera, emacs, whathaveyou certainly also
are `PIM's. I wouldn't want netscape to appear in any such catogary.

Yes, Calendar I agree: that belongs to something like "Personal".


joost witteveen,
(I'm preparing for my promotion 1998/1/7, and have less than  zero
time to spend on anything that isn't really related to that (or esperanto)).
