The goal of this page is to discuss how software used for DebianScience could be properly classified.

There is clearly a [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00004.html demand] for [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00002.html that]. There is also [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/02/msg00013.html interest] for creating meta packages or a [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/02/msg00021.html tasksel task].

As [http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/ Debtags] are being [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg00016.html integrated into Packages files] it might be the way to go.

Another QA effort that might be related is the PackagesDescriptionsReview. It may even be [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00040.html the one to focus on first].

There is also the [http://ddtp.debian.net/ ddtp (in lack of a better link)] effort to translate the packages descriptions.

The possible tags for Debian science related projects could be

  • visualization - programs like gnuplot, labplot, mayavi etc.,
  • data processing - programs like octave
  • diagrams - programs like dia, xfig
  • publishing - programs like latex, bibtex etc.,

Proposed categories

You can [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/02/msg00011.html follow] this thread to see all opinions. Please add a wiki link to the following categories if it already exists a Debian Science wiki page related to any of the following. Try to spell out the categories to avoid mistakes, as [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/02/msg00035.html suggested].
