Problem/Motivation
One thing we realized early in the initiative is that the data we can get from Drupal.org has a huge impact on the success of Project Browser. To that end, we decided to re-examine the category structure used to classify module projects today. Currently that list consists of 54 terms, with generic terms like “examples,” specific catch-all phrases like “content,” and unspecific ones like “other.” The ultimate goal is to consolidate the list of categories to a more manageable number, give them a more universal appeal, and make them easier to comprehend for everyone.
With the help of various community members, we have come up with a proposed list of 19 categories. We are looking for feedback from our target audience, site-builders and those new to Drupal, to determine if the naming of the categories and the description of each are understandable. The goal is to be able to search in the Project Browser by these categories resulting in a set of modules to help you achieve your goal of deciding which module to use to add new functionality to your website.

Only tackled step 2 so far.
We have made more progress here and have a new mechanism/plan for getting feedback in a shorter cycle.
