You mean 1 category per macro I guess... :)
I think we need to prepare for the fact that there'll be lots of
macros. If we list the the ones we currently have in the old rendering
we have about 40-50 I think + the ones the user can add. To find them
easily it might be best to put them in different categories.
Implementation note: If we want to list velocity macros too then
there's work to do. We should probably only list rendering module
macros in the first version.
One thing we might want to add too if a search box so that the user
can search on the macro name + macro description + macro parameter
descriptions and get matching macros listed.

You didn't comment on the missing multiwiki feature. Do you agree?

Typo. I meant "...that you *can't* set...".
