The only thing I have to add to this suggestion is /not/ to use
a strictly hierarchical classification, allowing for a single
egg to reside under multiple categories. (Like: Role/Program,
Development/Library and Protocol/HTTP, if the egg in question
happens to provide both an HTTP client library, and one or more
example applications built on top of it.) See also [1].
For a viable software classification, check, e. g., debtags [2]
(though it certainly isn't the only one available.)
