The Current Issues we are working on that affect our list:

[SaintFenix]

I figure it'd be a good idea to have a central thread where we can discuss recent issues with the list:

1. Although the world seems to be trending away from it at the moment, Crypto currencies still seem to be being cranked out at a huge scale, and I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea to add the linux programs that mine them to the list. The only question regarding this is:

Should be separate them by GUI and Command Line? Or mash them together?

2. What should be do about the Alphabetical ordering across languages?

We are lucky enough that most of the translations here are Latin charactered languages, so alphabetizing is fairly easy. However this changes with Thai and Chinese. Should they maintain Roman lettered alphabetizing, so we can make changes between en-EN and them easier? Or should be consider another order? My recent commits have been under the idea that they will maintain Roman lettering order for sanity sake, but I don't want my lettering system to be the default if someone doesn't care for it.

3. Suggestion/ Translation are welcomed. #196 the first suggestion that @makss made was in regards to how we are going to continue to keep the different translations in sync and together. So far that has been something I've taken to doing from time to time and it's largely been successful. I believe the method of adding the English version of a program to all the different lists so that they can later be translated, and the ordering kept, is the current way forward, unless someone can write up the A_sort.py's to do it for us. However we should still discuss this just in case we have better ideas.

These points come from referencing the following now closed issues, they haven't really been addressed, so I've combined them here for easier discussion:
#325
#326

I'm also in the belief that we should consider chopping up the Command line section into smaller bits, we have enough software now that it's beginning to be a nightmare to find a particular kind of app for the command line in the list. I'll probably put together a commit on that subject soon.

@SaintFenix
What about assigning command line software to their respective category, like mutt to Email Utilities, curseradio to Audio? I think having a [sub]category for performance monitoring tools ‒ which are largely found in the Command Line Utilities ‒ would also clean up the clutter a bit. Everything that do not fit anywhere can be put in to the others category.

[SaintFenix]

That's a thought,

I was also thinking we could mirror the separate categories into command line tools also, they wouldn't have a ton of software each yet, but it'll keep growing anyhow.

So we would have an Audio section for both GUI and then as a subcategory of Command line tools, another audio section.

Do you think that would be confusing though?

1. Mash them in a category called Cryptocurrency or something.
2. I put my trust in translators. I can't even verify their translation, so it's pretty meaningless to check their ordering. While this list motivates alphabet ordering, other languages may have some ways to sort their characters. Eventually, this will remain a decision made by the translator. If there are more than one translators and they need my opinion on this, I can help.
3. I agreed with all you said. Also I am not having any ideas on this. Mostly because it is not an unsolvable problem, but it needs human resource, which is not always available.

@chrunchyjesus Got it right. I am trying to implementing an icon that denotes terminal/CLI app and then move all the app in that section into other subcategories.

[SaintFenix]

I really like an icon that denotes terminal apps, that would be an elegant way to keep the list from growing awkward. I started on a trial of seperating out the command line into different categories today, it was quite messy. :(
