Category for Applets / Desklets

[anandrkris]

As the Cinnamon ecosystem grows, I feel, there is a need to assign a Category to each applet / desklets to ensure that in future users can filter items based on category.

Example:

1. Utilities - Calculator, World Clock, Calendar, Stop watch, ScreenShot+Desktop Record, Record Desktop, Timer With Notifications, Brightness
2. Multimedia - Sound Box,
3. System - CPU Monitor, CPU temperature, Bumblebee And NVidia Display (BAND), Network usage, GPU Temperature (ATI and NVIDIA)
4. Online Services / Social - News feeds, Sports Update, Weather, Gmail, Shortenize URL
5. Productivity - Sticky Notes, Pomodoro, Hamster Time Tracker, GPaste
6. Application Launchers - Win 7 Menu, Graphics Center, Office Center
7. Fun and Games - xkcd comic viewer, Fortune Quote of the day
8. Accessibility - Caps / Num lock,
9. Development - Github explore, development,XAMPP Panel Menu, Looking Glass Restart, ShellTools
10. Others - Open File Manager as Root

Each item could have one category or can have multiple tags - is something development team can decide. 😄

I think it would help a lot more when obviously deprecated applets (seperator for instance) would be moved to a different place on the applets-web-page. This would make it a lot easier to find interesting/relevant applets
