As discussed during Hackathon, we acknowledge that the current list of Categories (source-website based) is not satisfactory.

We want to replace it with a new –limited– list, based on Knowledge families ; inspired by the Dewey Classification of the root categories of The Library of Congress or others. @Popolechien will submit something.

We also want those categories to be translated which will lead to a libkiwix ticket.
We also want to explore iconography for categories but this discussion will happen once we have settled on the new list.

I was going to suggest working off Dewey classes or the Library of Congress Classification, but considering the type of content we have this might work better.
