Hi,

the Server menu is a bit too heavy with icons (it fails the platoon rule
of no more than approx a dozen objects per level of hierarchy). Can any
of the server app people see a way two split them in to two categories?

currently we have:
 -Desktop GIS
 -Navigation and Maps
 -Servers
 -Spatial Tools
 -Crisis Management
 -Databases (so far unused)

With these in the Server menu:
deegree-*
geoserver-*
*geonetwork*
geomajas-*
mapserver
mapnik-*
mapguide*
52n-*

(*- typically -Start, -Stop, etc)


sub-menus from within the Server menu would be ideal, but I'm short
on time and splitting the category into two is easier. :)


thanks,
Hamish

ps- projects should place their startup icons on the user's Desktop,
they get sorted from there for the menus.
