I think just one big apps forum is needed, which will contain both Maemo SW apps and other apps. I don't think we need subcategories, unless one or two categories overwhelm the apps forum.

Here are a few more changes as per Quim:
- merged Official and 3rd party apps to a single 'Applications' forum. Main category renamed to 'Software'
- renamed 'Canola' to 'Multimedia'. Canola threads prefixed with '[Canola]'.
- renamed 'Gaming' as 'Games'

Alright, based on bug 4476 we may want to discuss the naming of the maemo.org forum and the Talk section.
I'm thinking we could safely rename maemo.org to "Website", but I'm not sure about Talk.

Hey, I was just getting used to the Talk > Talk > pipe... 
Even better is maemo.org > Talk > Talk > maemo.org (see this thread's header). It's complete. Circular. Self-referential. Break that and I'm sure monkeys will fly out of someone's butt...

Is the 'Upgrading' forum worth keeping? It seems ill-defined.
And is Palm OS really deserving of a full forum in 'alternatives'? Garnet VM itself could just be discussed in 3rd party Apps, and Palm OS-specific stuff could be on a different site. (By the way, I love Palm OS, so please don't think I'm dissing it!)

Having just gone through the Alternatives forum tagging hundreds of threads, I can tell you that the Garnet VM is one of the most deserving alternatives for a subforum.
Take a look at this list. These are just the threads that I've tagged so far. There's several dozen I haven't gotten to yet.
Looking at the tag cloud really shows that our work in Alternatives is paying off. Look at the size of the alternative tags (like kde, mer, garnet, debian, deblet, android, etc) compared to tags you would expect to be bigger (like n800, maemo, microb, etc).

qole: Very interesting list. I had no idea there were that many, even though I follow all the GVM stuff. And almost every thread topic is very specific, focused on a real issue. That tells me that those using GVM on NIT are quite keen 
(and as rcsteiner also said, GVM issues are of a different nature than native PalmOS issues).

One thing not being discussed is that many apps are in development, undocumented, or otherwise not appropriate for casual users. Perhaps this is more important in practice than the "official" distinction, although somewhat overlapping.
