+<PRE>Le 10/09/12 14:<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">50,brian.smith at blueyonder.co.uk</A> nous adresse ces quelques
+mots :
+&gt;<i> I'll stick my 2p in as a user
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> How about the package groups relate to the menu entries in Gnome
+</I>&gt;<i> and KDE.
+</I>
+Hi Brian, I forgot to answer you.
+
+Thanks for your suggestion. It's a possibility as well.
+The standard desktop categories are:
+<A HREF="http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html">http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html</A>
+
+I didn't consider it as a first proposal for two reasons:
+
+- It is designed for applications that have a menu entry. So it needs
+ to be amended for all non-GUI packages: it means we do not follow
+ strictly the standard.
+- These categories are completely different from the current RPM
+ groups. It means *all* of Mageia packages need to be changed.
+
+The advantages:
+
+- It makes it easier to have only one classification policy.
+- It is a standard (although not for packages, but still).
+- Users can make more sense of it, since the menu and rpm group match
+- Icons already exist
+
+So this is a possible alternative, but requires even more commitment
+from the packagers.
