Well, it's been on my mind for a while now : I think we should clean up / tidy up the Application Ports subforum section. I'm not asking to throw away ports, but to organise them, if only to put them by alphabetical order.

As it is now, the Application Ports is just a big dump of two pages with no order at all, making it difficult to look for something or see if something has already been ported. This is why I suggest we should do like we did in the other sections of the porting subforums : break the ports down into subcategories.

A quick overview of the Application Ports section gave at least two or three possible subcategories : Multimedia (everything related to images, video, audio players, editors and converters), Game Related (Mod installer, save editor, cheater, etc) and Windows Utilities (RAR/Zip, web browsers, etc). Of course, a fourth one could be named "Other / Unclassified" or something. All these categories could then be classified by alphabetical order, which would mean a cleaner section, and more user-friendly.

If there is a problem with one of my wrappers, please let me know by posting on the game thread AND by sending me a pm.
If there are no problems, then a little "Thank you!" is always heart-warming!

I agree - it's very hard to find stuff in there. Good thing that there are only 2 pages.
