Hi, your changes look great so far -- including the categories as
links. However you have to understand that I wanted to discuss this
before its implemented so that we know what we want. Just because this
bug says plugins should be grouped by categories doesn't mean that
they should -- we seem to agree that plugins should have categories
but not so much more. So I'd like to know what we want to do with the
user interface.

Categorisation is good in many places IMO but I think it is already
too detailed. Again, if we know what we want to do and *how* we want
to help the user, it's going to be much easier to know how to do this
right.
