Hi folks,

I added a feature request for this on sourcesup[1]. Any feedback?

> Issues
> ------
> 
> To find a list, there are currently different approches offered by the
> web interface. User has to make her choice between multiple (sometimes
> redundant, sometimes different) items:
> - use the search field on the home page
> - use the categories list on the home page
> - use the index entry in the menu bar
> - use the search entry in the menu bar
> 
> The categories workflow doesn't work:
> - when creating a list, the user has no choice but select "other" when
> the list doesn't match one of the few allowed topics (which is frustrating!)
> - all topics are given to the user to browse, even when no list exists
> (which is very frustrating!)
> 
> The list index has some caveats too:
> - all the lists are shawn on the same single page
> - that page can take some time to load in case there are a lot of lists
> - always the same list are shown at the top, while the user may want to
> discover some new stuff from time to time
> 
> Proposal
> --------
> 
> Group index, search and filter features on a single page, so that user
> doesn't have to worry where to go to find what she is looking for.
> Provide user with useful sorting methods. Avoid overloading the index by
> limiting the number of items by page.
