Sure, having people comment on how useful the proposed categories are
would help :-)

Here are the relevant bugs:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20186
"clash of Science and Education => new main Category"
Moving Science as a toplevel category is fine with me; no need for an
additional category, though (economy or geography are sciences)

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20187
"mapping, navigation, GPS..."
Adding something like "Maps" (not fan of the name, though) makes sense.
Not quite sure we need GIS.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20189
"each Additional Category need Main Category"
Sounds like something we can just fix.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20191
"request for GPE and XFCE"
No strong opinion there; as long as the projects (GPE, XFCE, ROX, etc.)
still want something, let's add it.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20192
"request for Spirituality and Philosophy"
Ah, this one is famous. At the moment, I would just go with
Spirituality, and add Philosophy later on if it's really needed.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20197
"add PIM support and RSS support"
Fine with me.
