Maybe we don't need subtopics here: The main overview page could just
stay a 'static' page with links to the Topic-subfolders with the
pieces. 

We're just one level deep and I don't see the need to dig deeper.
Well, maybe later.

The Keyword doesn't necessarily have to be visible on the Topic. So if
someone doesn't like his music to be labeled "track", he shouldn't
have to care because we could just change the Topic's name (currently
"Tracks with Pd" to reflect our consensus. But the Keyword could still
stay "Track". 

I don't think, that "music" is a good keyword for a track or a piece.
A "piece" also could be a patch or a graphic. Maybe we could call it
"musicfile"? 

We also could use more verbose Keywords like: "Community:Music" (I
think, this works, iem.at seems to be down currently, so it's
untested, at least "Community_Music" should work) This way, we would
have the general words like "music" or "track" free for other uses.

ciao
