            Bug ID: 199360
           Summary: [wishlist] ports tree layout (names and hierarchy)
                    could be more user friendly and less "nerd'ish"
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: torsten.eichstaedt@web.de
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

1. The ports tree is too "nerd'ish"
  - 'lang' contains programming language stuff, but non-techies would expect
human
    language stuff.  It could be a subdir of 'devel', and (the top-level)
'lang'
    (or 'international') could contain all the subdirs related to human
languages.
  - The "meta" directories should all begin with an upper letter or be all
    uppercase to distinguish them from folders containing the ports, i.e.
    'packages' and 'distfiles' 
2. Some ports clutter the tree with dozens (to thousands) of small sub-ports,
to
   name some: pear* (464!), py-* (1565!!), p5-* (5122!!!),...
   These could be in appropiate sub-dirs under 'groupware', 'devel', etc.
