For the moment, I was seeing Plugin as a placeholder category. In case some
official plugins could use the wiki to have a "support" page. Other than that, I
don't know what to do with this category.

I like "getting started". However I'm not sure sure this is pertinent regarding
the numbers of tips.


I really like "Tuning". It's a much better name that Options as it would
encompass some other tips. But beware it does not become a Usage-bis filled with
all the mappings and abbreviations vimmers can come with.


I'm OK with Editing which could be subcategorized (but would be it be a good
idea?) into A.T.I, Motions, Text Transformations, ...
(There are several "Text transformations" related tips -- however, I don't
really like this category. This is indeed what we do, but not necesserally a
category in which we'd instinctivelly search tips.)


I'm afraid that "Extending" is too fuzzy. For instance, all ftplugin related
tips would be perfect candidates for extending. I'd need to have a look at the
tips to see what would fit in this category.

Otherwise, in the tips that still need to be categorized, I've seen quite a lot
of tips related to buffers, windows, tabs, and files manipulations.
