Well, you'll have to wait and see, unless you want to be bored with technical details. However, I'm suspecting you weren't looking for the technical details, rather the opportunity to make a jibe.

I stand by the assertion that an architecture of hardcoding a mapping of all possible applications to sections doesn't scale. Since we could only get a proper look at how Ovi is using dpkg, apt and repositories in the last day or so, it requires a more ingenious technical solution. Of which about 3 are immediately obvious; it just depends which is the most efficient to develop & deploy.

Well, now that there's two of you doing the same thing in two projects, it should be interesting to see what happens.
Manfred seems to be concentrating on letting you structure the menu however you want using whatever icons you want. That's not what I wanted. YMMV.

I guess competition isn't always a bad thing.... Although I much prefer collaboration.
Who doesn't? However, manzn wants to go in a different direction and that's fine. Since I'd written the code earlier in the thread to assist MyMenu it seemed a shame not to use it.
