[seul-edu] ISO Phase 3: Debian menu

["Darryl Palmer" <Darryl_Palmer_Jr@acm.org>]

For fun I wrote my first Debian package yesterday, I created a package
for Montessori Bells.  I made it as compliant to the Debian Policy as
possible, it has a script wrapper in /usr/bin and even a man page (I put
it in 1 and not 6, don't know if it classified as a "game") but when I
went to create a menu for it I ran into a problem.  Debian has a small
set of approved menus:

            Apps            - normal apps
              Databases     - interactive database programs
              Editors       - text editors, word processors
              Emulators     - dosemu, etc.
              Graphics      - image manipulation
              Hamradio      - anything relating to ham radio.
              Math          - gnuplot, octave, oleo, etc.
              Net           - mail, news, web, irc, etc.
              Programming   - debuggers, etc.
              Science       - scientific programs
              Tools         - other tools: xclock, xmag, xman, etc.
              Technical     - technical stuff.
              Text          - text oriented tools other than editors.
              Shells        - bash, ksh, zsh, etc.
              Sound         - sound players and editors
              Viewers       - image viewers
              System        - system administration and monitoring tools
            Games           - games and recreations
              Adventure     - walk around virtual space, zork, MOO's,
etc
              Arcade        - any game where reflexes count
              Board         - like gnuchess, pente, gnugo
              Card          - solitaire, etc
              Puzzles       - Stuff from xpuzzles, ...
              Sports        - Games derived from "real world" sports
              Strategy      - games involving long term strategic
thinking
              Tetris-like   - games involving falling blocks
              Toys          - oneko, xeyes, etc.
            Help            - programs that provide user documentation
            Screen          - programs that affect the whole screen 
              Lock          - xlock, etc.
              Save          - screen savers
              Root-window   - things that fill the root window
            WindowManagers  - X window managers 
              Modules       - window manager modules
            XShells         - shells (like xterm, rxvt, ...)

When I asked the head of DebianEdu which menu educational apps should go
under, he said it was up to the maintainer.  So now the question is,
where should the menu item be for the educational apps?  If we want to
put it under another menu item, then we will need to get approval form
the Debian developer group first.
