Description
[was originally incorrectly opened at https://github.com/offspot/overview/issues/5]
As discussed during Hackathon, we acknowledge that the current list of Categories (source-website based) is not satisfactory.
We want to replace it with a new –limited– list, based on _Knowledge families_ ; inspired by the Dewey Classification of the root categories of The Library of Congress or others. @Popolechien will submit something.
We also want those categories to be translated which will lead to a libkiwix ticket.
We also want to explore iconography for categories but this discussion will happen once we have settled on the new list.

> I was going to suggest working off [Dewey classes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes) or the [Library of Congress Classification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress_Classification), but considering the type of content we have this might work better.
