At the moment any recipe using forms is added to the Forms category.
If we want to change this, we need to find some homes for some.

Any suggestions as to what category to use for recipes about voting
etc.? There is a "Voting" category, is that sufficient? There are four
voting recipes in the Forms category (two Fox applications, two
others). Voting does not appear in the sidebar, so if we only use
Voting, then the recipes will perhaps be overlooked? (I know  a search
for "voting" turns up all of them).

Which category shall we use for page management recipes? Like
NewPageBox, NewGroupBox, RenamePage and some others for help with page
creation, moving, copying, renaming etc? Is CMS sufficient, or even
correct? Or are all general Administration?

I tend to think that the categories listed in Cookbook.SideBar shall
be inclusive for all, so any recipe will share a category listed in the
sidebar. This way the sidebar categories become the major index. I
thought that that was the intention.
