Yes Thanks Juan,
Adding Menus as you suggest would be great. Please go ahead and create it.

I suggest that we should set up a new category (on the same level as 
Education) called "Geospatial"

So we would have:
Geospatial/gvsig
Geospatial/geoserver

Geospatial/beta/gvsig-mobile

Once you have worked out how it should be done, could you please also 
update the build wiki so that others can follow your steps.
