Aha, I did wonder where the category list came from. I'm sure the  
activity team would be happy to discuss, but if anyone, I think  
educators/teachers should be providing us input on this concrete list.  
The current categories are:

Search & Discovery
Documents
News
Chat, mail and talk
Media creation
Programming
Maths & Science
Maps & Geography
Media players
Games
Teacher tools

In the addons site these categories work like tags (un-like the  
original presentation at the wiki), so an Activity can now be tagged  
in multiple categories. To get the ball rolling; this list does seems  
a little on the technical side, built around activity code that  
happened to appear at the time. I'd quite like to see things  
simplified to cover more regular study areas (reading, writing, art,  
maths, science, programming, geography, communication, games, etc).
