I had a go at updating this page to what seems appropriate right now - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/FreedesktopCategories It's all straight from the Freedesktop standard, except for a few additions/changes.
DiscBurning is deemed not to belong to AudioVideo. But, there is no immediate action plan coupled with that yet. Still, it is not grouped inside the Audio or the Video categories for the time being. # Some additional (custom) categories (with the prefix -X) These three are the ones we have so far. If you come to think of any additional obvious category, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm sure it may occur to someone later on to add one, and that is alright too. These are custom categories, but they need to have some purpose too, of course. In some way, I'm considering these as possible additions to the freedesktop standard. ## X-VirtualInstrument (Audio;AudioVideo) Was named Instrument before, by me. I reconsidered, and called it VirtualInstrument. Another possibility would be SoftwareSynthesizer, which wikipedia seems to prefer, though I am thinking of samplers too. Yet another, SoftwareInstrument. I'm not 100% on this yet, but the term I am most used to using myself is virtual instrument. ## X-DAW DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation, which usually means a sequencer that can record and edit audio, with the addition of the usage of processing effects (usually plugins) as well as software instruments. ## X-Typography Not put there by me, and since I don't know graphics very well I leave it to Set to figure this one out :). -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
