The precise localization of short/hard (Type I) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in
recent years has answered many questions but raised even more. I present some
results of a systematic study of the optical afterglows of long/soft (Type II)
and short/hard (Type I) GRBs, focusing on the optical luminosity as another
puzzle piece in the classification of GRBs.
