Ideas for organization... Options

[Dibrom]

Post here your thoughts on how the wiki should be organized initially.

For example, what sort of major categories should we emphasize on the index page?

Note: We need to figure out a good way to denote the distinction between software available on different platforms.

My Example:

Players
- Multiple platforms // Cross-platform
-- iTunes
- Windows
-- foobar2000
-- Winamp

Seemingly simple enough.. additional requirements, like iTunes need for a Windows version above 2000 could be put on the information page. I'd put most *nix apps (like JuK, Rhythmbox and Xine) under a "Linux" (or perhaps "Linux/BSD") title since that's where most of them are tested and compiled, even if they run under other *nixes (like Solaris).

As for Mac OS, I'd make a "Mac OS X" and "Mac OS Classic"/"Mac OS 9" section to separate the two, since there's seemingly a significant number of people running OS 9... (compared to how many runs Windows 3.x versus Windows 95 and higher).

I'll use this method and see how it ends up looking

Edit: Actually, it looked kind of messy. Perhaps better to just duplicate cross-platform players under different sections until the list becomes to big, or something...
