At the moment, I don't know if there is such urgent need for additional
elements and resources. At least a "press pack" featuring some recent
screenshots, the logo, ... might help. So yes, there might be something
like that.

[... URL discussion ...]

Well, the reason was to better distinguish between "visuals" and
"utility". I'm not worried with regard to the abbreviations, since the
"Design" is the most important information here. But the translation
abbreviation is a good point.

Thus, we may simply go with the "category" approach and chance things
later on (if required).

And there are also differences; e.g. something like the user feedback
tooling is something rather related to User Experience. Moreover, since
we'll use the wiki for working drafts / specifications / ... it might
make sense to have this separated. But there are plenty of other
opportunities like templates, ...
