Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] oot modules in grc

[Ron Economos]

The default in gr_modtool is to create a category with the module name. 
For example, gr-whatevs would end up in the "whatevs" category. However, 
since it's common to capitalize categories, it should probably be 
changed to "Whatevs".

I just pushed a commit to gr-paint to use the category "Paint".

In some of my other OOT's, I use a more descriptive category. For 
example, in gr-ule I use "IP over TS (ULE)".

Another newer OOT is using "NRSC-5"

If an OOT is similar to a core category, you can just put in there. For 
example, in my lower latency DVB-T2 OOT (gr-dvbt2ll) I use:

[Core]/Digital Television/DVB-T2LL

For some of my non-published local junk, I use sub-categories under the 
category "Utilities". For example:

[Utilities]/IQ Levels
