this will probably be the most complex and most challenging project that i will ever touch as a GM. in the list below you can see ALL categories and sub-categories we currently have in the gallery of Customization/Skins & Themes (sub-sub-categories like for example "Winamp Modern" or "Winamp Classic" not included) and i now intend to put a description to each and every one of these (sub-)categories, but..... I SOOO MUCH NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS!! that's why i'm going to give you


10 POINTS FOR EACH OF YOUR DESCRIPTIONS


for any (sub-)category that hasn't yet been listed. in other words, you can earn almost 3000 points for descriptions to almost 300 (sub-)categories. you can easily find out whether there already is a description or not, if you simply hover your mouse over one of the listed items. by doing so a tooltip will show up and then it would either read "no description yet" or an according description of the item of course. besides, already filled items will be shown in bold letters.


SO, WHAT I NEED...


..is that you put yourself in the shoes of someone who has never heard of a category before. try to be as simple yet concise as possible. maybe name one or two examples for what belongs into a category and what not. also try to make your descriptions as short as you can, without cutting off the most important infos. the descriptions are meant to be a guide for those who don't know where to put their deviations (maybe avoiding miscats this way a bit) and also for those who are browsing the Skins & Themes gallery without knowing what some categories actually are. chances are, that your descriptions might even be added to the categories themselves one day. who knows?


ALSO .. AND JUST AS IMPORTANT (MAYBE EVEN MORE)


if you look at the list of categories and subcategories, please let me know if you think there's something missing. please check for useless, redundant, obsolete and potentially misleading areas of our gallery. do you think we should merge, restructure, delete or add something? please let me know and i will see what i can do about it. don't be shy. i can imagine the linux- and mac-community to be quite unhappy with the currently existing categories. just give me a nudge and i'll see into your concerns.


SO, FIRE UP YOUR SEARCH ENGINES..


..and see what you can find out about apps like Inedita, Bookem, Eppie, Drempels and what they're all called and of which the majority of us has (likely) never heard of before. shoot me your descriptions and points will be transmitted to you asap.

thanks for helping me out on this, guys!!

I know it's a very old post now, but some descriptions could be found at sites/repositories like Skinnables and Skinbase, no?
