Interested, just lots of other stuff to do too... (My qualifications as
honorable are questionable too, as you know...)
Have you looked at the categories offered by some of the online 3D model
/ material sites ? For example: www.turbosquid.com
If not already suggested, I feel a strength of POV-Ray is the quick
abstract image, the quick icon. These are not really objects I guess,
but I find them interesting. Well, we could require they be framed! :-)
Maybe such a category would get noisy / swamped though...

To tell the truth, I have no idea what to answer. Except for very
general categories, I would not go into too much details (at this moment
in time and content of the Collection). If in future further
subdivisions would become necessary, then would be the time to implement
them.

hi,
an amended list of categories, for review.
Kenneth is right of course, there needs to be some type of "catch all" category.
rather than 'miscellaneous' I chose to use 'uncategorised'; the idea is that if
an author should feel none of the existing categories apply, they can use
'uncategorised' and send an email to admin, with the keyword(s) or phrase(s)
they wanted to see,
it will then be up to an administrator to decide on an action.
the 'organic forms' stuff is in part (I guess) a result of Mike Miller's
phosphorescent "buds" :-)
unsure of 'humanoid', in that group. ought the OC have a 'person/character'
category at level '2', perhaps with further sub-categories ?
more feedback will be appreciated, I feel the 'household/office objects'
category (at least) needs .. something.

thanks (still room for improvement, though :-)). I guess I'm thinking of
projects like 'Ton' does, eg.

Aaa ! Yes, now I understand your idea, but it seems to me that scaled
models can be of different categories too. Maybe we can use this
property as a tag, or similar to mark objects in other categories ?

Humanoids can include aliens as well as terrestrial humans. Of course, the
likelihood of an actual ETI resembling humans is slim to none, but humanoid ETIs
are all over science fiction, an science fiction is all we have to go on, until
some real ETI shows up.
(I mead a *real* ETI. Not a Frisbee, not a top secret military project, not a
reflection of a streetlight in your car window, not the planet Venus, and not
some hallucination/repressed fantasy of being probed.)

How about "Kitchen Items"?

"Microbes" could round this out. There is already a coronavirus in the
collection.

yes. the "rocket", for instance, would then be vehicles, rail and scale model.
(was initially thinking of using 'replica' but like 'scale model' better :-))

maybe we should keep to primary colours, to avoid pulling in 'colors.inc'. ;-)

agree. the problem is .. constructing a useful and inclusive hierarchy w/out
"redundant" stuff (find "naming" things difficult)

kitchen, yes, will take that. (more please)

perhaps some 4th level 'microscopic' and 'macroscopic' ? that said, the whole
'organic forms' "tree" needs revising, bettering.
thanks for all the comments, so far.
