Are there any category guidelines anywhere? I've looked, but i haven't 
found it.

I'm happy to spend as much time as i can going through the codex and 
categorizing articles. It will be a good way to get to know what's in 
there, anyway.

For development type subjects, at least, i think the categories may need 
to be more fine grained than that if they're going to be really useful.

If non-English languages are going to be in their own categories, surely 
English language articles need to be categorized "English"? Maybe i've 
missed something, but that doesn't appear to be happening.

Where are they? (Is it just me that can't find anything in this wiki?)
