Oh, now I see what you mean by the per-product description page. We definitely shouldn't be listing the products themselves here - it's going to be unmaintainable not to mention creating a large page.

Revision as of 10:00, 13 February 2007

I propose that all the sub-categories get merged to this page, so the "products" page contain direct links to the per-product descriptions pages.

The goal is to improve the overview by showing how many products there are in each category, and to link the product name to a category (to show which one is where).


I tend to agree. How about we remove the Category tags from the sub categories and list them (the sub-categories) on a main Products page ? Something like:

  • Accessories
    • Adapters
    • Clothing

etc.
