Hi Hughes,
~    Thanks a lot.
~    We may then use the following groups:
~       Communication
~       Programming
~       Games
~       Maps
~       Others / Extra / Miscellaneous  --> Unknown
~       Network
~       Repos

We believe the term 'unknown' is a bit scary for the average users and 
would like to replace it with 'others' or 'extra' or 'misc'.  Something 
more inviting.

Also, I  think the filter *visible* is nice, but might not exactly match 
our needs.
After reviewing, it looks like there will be few packages that after 
installation, will not be visible on the device.  (such as packages in 
the programming category).
Is there a better term to describe this?

Thanks,
Tick

|
| PK_GROUP_ENUM_COMMUNICATION
| PK_GROUP_ENUM_NETWORK
| PK_GROUP_ENUM_MAPS
| PK_GROUP_ENUM_REPOS

| Sure, livna and stuff does the same in Fedora.

| Hmm. Okay, what about we make the filter called "visible" and we only
| implement that filter if we want control over the output options.
|
| Okay for me to add PK_FILTER_ENUM_VISIBLE?
