Closes #73 (the consensus merges; see note below).

The listing sidebar had grown to 52 unique categories across 60 tutorials, many of them near-duplicates, single-use tags, or the nonsense/mix-up terms flagged in #73. This trims the set to 39 by applying only the merges already agreed in that thread — no new terms introduced.

Merges

Removed → Merged into Rationale (from #73)
MCDA (deleted) @ecodiv confirmed it's a mix-up from an unsubmitted tutorial
geobiogeography ecology flagged as nonsense (geo already in bio-geo-graphy)
biogeography, biodiversity ecology @veroandreo: group ecology-adjacent terms
DEM, topography, slope, aspect, landforms terrain @petrasovaa: these "mean almost the same thing"
streams, erosion hydrology @petrasovaa: prefer the broad hydrology
imagery remote sensing @veroandreo: "merge into one"
bashBash (normalized) case duplicate; align with Python/R

Notes

  • No content changed — only category frontmatter and the two external listing YAMLs (ecodiv.yml, huidae_courses.yml).
  • Categories are auto-collected via categories: true in index.qmd, so there's nothing else to update.
  • Because search is fulltext, the removed nuanced terms are still discoverable in the tutorial body.
  • Not included here (left for discussion): further optional trimming (e.g. least cost pathcost surface, dropping single-use coast/engineering/Landlab, library tags like NumPy/matplotlib), and a curated category "menu" for CONTRIBUTING. Happy to follow up in a second PR if wanted.

The listing sidebar had grown to 52 unique categories, many of which
were near-duplicates, single-use tags, or nonsense terms. This trims
the set to 39 by applying the merges discussed in OSGeo#73:

- ecology: absorb biogeography, biodiversity, geobiogeography; drop MCDA
  (confirmed by @ecodiv as a mix-up from an unsubmitted tutorial)
- terrain: absorb DEM, topography, slope, aspect, landforms
- hydrology: absorb streams, erosion
- remote sensing: absorb imagery
- normalize bash -> Bash for consistency with Python/R

No content changed; only frontmatter and the two external listing YAMLs.
Categories are auto-collected via `categories: true`, so no config or
link updates are needed.
