Hello,

Since it seems that that discussion should happen here, let's do it.
I have the following questions about the comps files:

* the 'Authoring and Publishing' seems to be only for docbook from the
  description. So where things like latex based packages, script converter
  for other formats and so on (in my case, there is BibTool, tetex-tex4ht
  and ooo2txt). And should script converters be in comps at all?
* where should wxWidgets based applications go (I maintain xchm).
* should what is an end-user be dependent on the category? For example I
  think that 'Engineering and Scientific' end users care about numerical
  libraries, so it makes sense to have some libraries often used in
  models or the like in that category. There is allready blas and lapack,
  for example.
* does it makes sense to have some packages in more than one group? For
  example I put grads is in 'Graphics', I think it also could be in 
  'Engineering and Scientific'.
* where should things like esmtp (a relay-only Mail Transfer Agent) go?
  There doesn't seems to be a category for that program, although it may
  be interesting for some (advanced) end-users?
