[sdiy] OT : Catagories for URL database

[Tom Arnold]

This is mildly offtopic but I think relevent as its something I'm trying
to put toegether for SDIYers...

A friend of mine and I have cooked up a TinyURL type system for shortening
URLs.  One difference is you can put in a title and description and set a
catagory for the URLs entered and then go back at a later time and
search the database and find URLs.   I'm thinking of this for putting in
parts suppliers and the like.

Currently I've put in the following catagories :
#1  	Default   	 The default category.
#2 	Homepages 	Homepages of SynthDIYers that arn't on sdiy.org
#3 	Music 	Music created by SDIYers
#4 	Suppliers-Parts 	Parts suppliers / Parts sources
#5 	Suppliers-Kits 	    Makers of kits and/or partially assembled products.
#6 	Suppliers-Assembled 	Suppliers of Fully Assembled synth gear

At this point my brain shut off and I reached total block on new catagories.

Suggestions for other catagories?

The system is currently set up at http://sdiy.org/urls/ and you can see the
lovely redirect in action by going to http://sdiy.org/id/1 

I also intend in the near future to provide a raw dump of some form of the
database so that I am not a single point of failure on a public resource
and also have the ability to select your own name for the link so shortcuts
like http://sdiy.org/id/bob would go to Bob's Website and the like.

Thanks!
