In case my previous mail was not clear enough,
developers should add a biocViews: field to their
package DESCRIPTION files and add at least one term
from the vocabulary in that field, in a comma-separated
list.

a good example is the following line in
arrayMagic/DESCRIPTION:

biocViews: Microarray,TwoChannel,DataImport,QualityControl,Preprocessing

we will be using these to build the task view navigation tools
for browsing bioconductor software; to get better exposure of your
package, please pick from the terms in the following "dot"
schematization of the vocabulary.   if you need another term
contact me directly.
