What do you think about that ?
I don't think that a single category would describe a plugin sufficiently. On the other hand the plugins have tags, which could be used to simplify browsing, e.g. by displaying a tag cloud.
If the tag cloud worked like I18N Search (live) (disable tags, if no plugin has it additionally to the already selected plugins, show the first search results immediately) this would make browsing much easier.
BTW: There is a Plugin Guide in the Wiki, which lists plugins by desired functionality/category. It would be nice, if it could be expanded by users.
