MultimediaApplicationCategorization
Feature definition for multimedia application categorization in Ubuntu Studio and Debian
There are many parts to categorizing applications. We will begin by overseeing freedesktop categories in desktop files for packages that belong to our focus area - which basically means all packages in the Debian sections: sound, graphics and video.
The way we categorize our applications will be reflected in the design of our meta packages, as well as the outlay of our menu.
Follow standards as closely as possible - using debian sections and freedesktop categories as base.
Applications are first divided into three main categories: Audio, Graphics and Video. These exist also as main freedesktop categories, as well as Debian sections (audio is named sound in Debian sections).
