not sure I like the idea of a separate category, seems to me adding some
special piece of metadata to models just to make a repository dump look
pretty isn't the way to go. It would be nicer to make use of the
keywords (which are genuinely useful metadata to more than just the
model repository), possibly with the addition of a guided part of the
metadata editing workflow which prompts the user to choose at least one
of the predefined "category" keywords and a filter smart enough to put
models without one of the special keywords into an "other" category.
This way the main repository page layout could be easily changed to add
or remove keywords that get pulled out as categories without having to
change the models.

It would also be nice if we can analyse all the repository searching to
keep track of the most popular keywords and adjust the categories on the
main page accordingly :-)
