I really think we should stick with one catagory per project. Just
pick the one that's the best fit... so a packet sniffer can go under
Applications/Networking (not much to sniff without a network), while
something like linuxconf would go under Applications/System
Administration. Also, I do think we should keep the number of
catagories fairly small, since it will, overall, make it a bit easier
to find things, even if a particular catagory gets a little
crowded... sunsite...urm metalab is a good example of how too many
catagories can make life hellish (particularly system vs. utils vs
apps).

Also, since the pages will likely be statically generated, it would
waste space to have the same project on several pages.
