Major and minor classification

I don't understand why we should create a distinction between major and minor plants in the usage category. This lead to a use category tree that is divided in two big part and do not allow the user to browse to all plant from a usage directly. User has to check major and minor earch time. If needed this classification between major and minor can be kept but I propose to clear the usage category tree from it. Pablo duran (talk) 16:15, 15 January 2023 (CET)

Add top category : Nutrition

I propose to add a category "Nutrition" has top category for "Cereals", "Oils plants", "Pulses" and "Spices and condiments‎". This will make the usage tree clearer. Pablo duran (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2023 (CET)

Invite public actors to work on the city design category

Public actors could use plantnet has a db to find species adapted to their constrains. We could communicate with them to know what information they need. I have contacts, I can make a proposition to some of them. This will probably help us built usage categories that are useful Pablo duran (talk) 16:59, 15 January 2023 (CET)

Expend Usage group : a proposition

Some category could be in various top categories if needed. These categories will be extended. The aim here is to have the general structure so we can them debate on each category definition.
