I noticed that there are one category for dentro and one for onefiledemo... so what is the difference?

If you want some way of categorizing these, why not have checkboxes describing the features instead of having 1 exclusive label?
"Check description boxes:
o One-file
o Demo compilation
o Multi-part
o Themed

Why not just call a demo a demo? |

as for graphics or music collections.... well... in the early days a lot of them were even named "music demo #wtf" or "graphics demo #idontcare". some of them even contained better code than other "normal" demos :o) i dont see a big difference between these collections and "normal" demos at all...its just the theme that differs. |

..sorry if i'm late in here, but i just have to reply when i get misunderstood.
I sort of understood that noone would understand that the word 'trashmo' was actually ment to be ironic. People just starts loving the new word and since the demo was also rather *special* it must be a cool word to use..
My suggestion:
I give you a few words to use in the future. Noone can use other words from now!
Intro.
Demo.
Music or Graphics collection..
Yepp, that should to it. Uggh, Uggh!

i still don't like the "intro" term, it just causes confusion because all early c64, amiga and whatever demos would be called "intros" nowadays... |

Ok.. now i give you more words :)
Intro: funny program with the purpose to be put 'in front' of another program.
Demo (includes subtitles Demo, 64k-demo, 4k-demo, one-file-demo etc..): stand-alone program, often interesting and nice to watch.
The following words we throw away and never use again:
dentro, trackmo, trashmo, wedtro, as well as all other stopid combinations.
So be it ;). |

An Intro is something like a Demo, but it MUST be linked in front of another Production, mainly Games.
A Demo is a graphical and musical Presentation, which does not require User-Input.
Trackmo is a Demo, which can't be filecopied.
I don't know, what a retro,joketro,dentro,hoaxtro,vaportro or a windotro is! (Not to mention Linutro or slashdotro)
If the People like these Categories, there will be sure Releases, but /me sticks to 4k-demos and trackmos!
