Operating System Bonanza
Posted on 10/27/05 at 22:59:09 GMT |
It seems there should be a cat directly under "computers" for "operating systems." There's so many: Linux, Unix, Solaris, BSD, Amiga, MAC, Windows, DOS, and even a currently developed open source version of DOS called FreeDOS.

I know what you mean. Perhaps I'm being anal.
I was thinking that software runs *under* operating systems, so it should be in a *separate* class of software. Not as just *more* software..
See what I mean? If not, that's cool.

Yeah I guess it does, come to think of it. But I don't want to put software under operating systems. I have a category tree I developed when I worked at GoGuides that I use for part of my template for here. So that's where some of the reasoning comes from. Some other parts have evolved through discussion, with Crystal mostly, and her areas she has laid out as she thought best, and my areas laid out randomly as sites appeared to fill up the higher levels. When there is almost a page, I look through the list and try to find 2 or more that could go together and make a new subcat for them. Usually my method requires change further down the line. Crystal's method is well planned out but involves having a lot of nearly empty categories all the way down to certain subcats. Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages.

Sidenote as this is off-topic of the original post: I just don't see the purpose in having 20 sites about Canada (or whatever) being kept at the same level as every other countries (or whatever) listings just because no other country/whatever can be spun off yet. Hence, why there are empty/nearly empty cats until you dig deeper in the tree line. With more than one person laying out a directory tree there is going to be at least that many styles of doing so.

Right. My point exactly. Where I see a lot of sense in something because I look at it from a different perspective, Crystal might see no sense in it from her perspective.
