Hi Cameron,
your classification looks good to me.
Calling the second category "Browser Facing GIS" should be good for GIS
newbies. I, in a categorization that I have done lately, put it into
only one class: "Web Map application development frameworks" (MapFish,
GeoMoose, ...). But I tend lately to introduce a subclass:
"JavaScript-based Mapping Clients" (OpenLayers, Leaflet, ModestMap).[1]
But as I said, yours may work much better for OSGeo-Live, and I had
quite some trouble in sorting and categorizing, as the field is evolving
and people are bundling "products".
cheers,
stefan
