[Fiware] Fwd: FIWARE – Reducing the catalogue

[Ari Okkonen CIE]

Hi all,

Comment about the current implementation of The Catalogue:
Information of catalogue entries is in blocks of small, gray, 
scientifically formulated text. It is difficult to see right away, is 
that an entry you are interested in. So, you either painstakingly read 
through all of them or quit. I think one need to have a strong 
motivation to search something useful from The Catalog as it is now.
