Hello John,

I think it would be a good idea to include a new column that says 
"Description" that tells the reader what the application is or does, something 
like :

Name 	Description		Category
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blinken	Simon-like game	Game
KCalc	Calculator		Desktop utility

I also think it would be a good idea to tweak the contents of the the category 
column. Maybe brainstorm some classes, like "Office application", "Game", 
"Desktop utility", "Admin utility", "Development tool", etc.?

I think those two minor changes would help users get a good idea of what they 
can find KDE's applications and help them decide what to install.

Cheers

Paul
