* From: Glenn Johnson <glennpj@bayouhome.net> * I vote for a chemistry category. * * There is overlap in the scientific disciplines and biochemistry is * a scientific discipline in its own right. However, I think most * software can be categorized neatly in the traditional discipline names, * like biology, chemistry, physics, etc. Even if it is decided to use * 'scientific' as a category that is certainly a better description for * pure chemistry programs then 'biology' is. Ok. The only concern I had is that people said there are many ports that could belong to both chemistry and biology. (Maybe I read the discussion wrong and it was chemistry and biochemistry.) My chemical/biological education pretty much ended at high school so sorry if I'm totally out of clue with this. (But where does organic chemistry fit? I mean, stuff like ADP and ATP.) Anyway, it seems people think chemistry (inc. biochemistry) is nicely separated from biology so I'll create the category if I don't hear any objections in the next couple of days. As for "science", it can still be created as a catch-all category which will become the parent of astro, biology, chemistry and math when we go to multi-levels, but are there still enough ports to put in there if we create "chemistry"?
