hmm, a good start.

i still like some other axes. like CS specialy: OO, algorithms,
language, etc. i don't want to go hog wild but i see a need for a couple
of extra axes.

  s> Tech
  s> 	Languages
  s> 	Development (couldn't think of better name, for like Mythical Man Month)
  s> 	OS
  s> 	Algorithms (need better name for this category definatly)
  s> 	Other	(everything else)

well that covers my first axis above. this needs serious work at some
point but we can live with a short list for now.

  s> General
  s> 	Refrence
  s> 	Fiction
  s> 	Non-Fiction

hmm, a little broader maybe. i can't think of more right now.

  s> Perl::Learning (would contain most books, also contains subcategory..)
  s> 	CGI

  s> Perl::Using
  s> 	CGI
  s> 	DB
  s> 	RegEx
  s> 	Language
  s> 	Porting

what if a book fits multiple categories? are these unique or a checklist
type field?


  s> Tech::Languages
  s> 	Python, C, ect ect

  s> Tech::Development
  s> 	Need help flushing this category out, can't think of any subs

OO is one.

  s> Tech::OS
  s> 	category for each OS that perl is ported to..

and others too.

  s> Tech::Algorithms
  s> 	Introduction
  s> 	Refrence

  s> Tech::Algorithms::Refrence
  s> 	Graphics
  s> 	Compression
  s> 	Encryption
  s> 	Pseudorandom

i don't think we need that level of detail. but we can always add it
later.

  s> Tech::Other
  s> 	open for suggestions


  s> General::Refrence

definitely need more than that. ever heard of the dewey decimal system? :)
	
  s> General::Fiction
  s> 	Sci-Fi
  s> 	Fantasy
  s> 	Mystery (can we just drop that category?)
  s> 	Popular (should that be renamed? ^.^)

  s> General::Non-Fiction
  s> 	Biographies
