Hello

Yes your idea seems very good to me. Your proposition is to sort tools 
from user point of vue, and gather them in one easy to find place,
i like this :-)

Bruno Kleinert classification sounds to me more like a maintainer point of vue,
with strict definition (network in network ...) but it would sparse the tools
amongst all other categories.

I agree with Bruno Kleinert that maybe freedesktop should be contacted too.

Best regards.
Alain
