Comment (by c.herbig@…):

 Just to throw in my two cents, there also seem to be some categories that
 could cross reference more than what they have.  For example, Katomic
 could probably be exposed in the Education category as well.  The reason I
 say this is that simply trying to browse through Gnome or KDE4, you get
 flooded with all sorts of ports and libraries that it gets easy to miss
 something that might be what you were looking for; who wants to browse
 through 7+ pages of ports.  Granted, this is probably just as much the
 fault of port maintainers choosing poor short descriptions and/or
 long_descriptions that don't really tell anything useful about the port.

 To summarize, as an outsider looking in, there doesn't seem to be any sort
 of clear strategy for port categorization, description or discovery.
