Although language is a bummer, it was not my main
concern, as you
pointed out in an earlier mail.
The fact that I can't go straight to "Road signs" from "Road signs in
Germany that tell a story" and then down again to "Road signs in
France that tell a story" rather than have to go through the whole
arborescence up and down again makes no sense to me.
Thanks to CategoryTree (the little "+" before category names, on
category pages, that lets you expand the tree without reloading the
page), navigating down from a good tree-top is much easier than it
used to be.
The trick is figuring out the good tree-top to go to as a starting
point, which is not easy because it depends on your goal and you also
need to be fairly familiar with the category tree and naming
conventions to begin with.
So there are two problems, developers designing an
intuitive-yet-all-purpose interface, which is a big ask, and then us
plebs actually putting it to use, in a way that is generic enough and
precise enough according to the unknown user's desires. Another big
ask. :)
