I also had mentioned cleaning up the sub-categories in a mail I sent shortly before the system went down. There should be some thought into which sub categories go under which parent categories. It is confusing for end-users to have options available in too many places.

Anyone else show this to existing clients and get questions about why the same module appears in many places? That's what got me started thinking of improvements. Any better ideas?
