Question Regarding Categories & Taxonomy

I am building a site and I want to manage certain posts and I thought I'd tap the local community for some advice on how to set it up properly.

The site would allow users to submit news articles. Free tagging will be implemented. I have 'news' set up as a term in taxonomy with the list of associated terms. My question is how do people view all 'news'?

I'll help flesh it out.

District wide site

I am currently creating a web page for a schools district webpage. I have set up a couple of drupal sites now and am curious about how to set this one up. I want to create basically 4 sites on one domain. The main page would be the district web home page. The other 3 schools need there own way of content. For example, I need to make a multi-selectable event calendar that posts to the district and the elementry. I need to know if I should use categories and taxonomy or do I need to make multisite type configuration.

Categories/Taxonomy Question - parent and child terms

I'm working with a few groups of instructors on sites that facilitate lesson plan creation, sharing, and discussion.

We're using the categories module to create several vocabularies like the following:

* Syllabii
* Course Calendars
* Sequence 1 (4)
* Sequence 2
* Sequence 3 (2)
* Themes (2)
      o Art (1)
      o Identity (1)
      o Language
      o Literacy
      o ....

Propuestas de uso de las Categorías del sitio del grupo

Hablando del Dojo argentino, en español y con sabor a mate ( a dulce de leche, o empanadas, como más les guste), porqué no implementamos en el sitio las categorías?
Es decir hacemos uso de las categorías que se pueden incorporar.
Podríamos crear algunas para ordenar un poco los posts, y que quien recién entra sepa para dónde rumbear. Así uno se encuentra con un enorme listado de posts desordenados, que no facilitan la búsqueda de información.
Qué opináis camaradas?
Por ejemplo:

Reuniones
Oferta Trabajo (aunque tal vez no porque ya hay un bloque para eso...)

Library API

After spending hours with Taxonomy trying to use it to construct a single tiered Library, The problem was that the module of taxonomy was too specific to what it does. I also saw that with in my code, I was running multiple select statements that were unnecessary. In addition my library was small, and I feared using a growing database full of taxonomy data would hinder the performance of my script. Simply put, Taxonomy was to high level for what I needed, and didn't provide the low level functionality and flexibility that I wanted.

I needed to write my own library routine, and modifying taxonomy was not an option. I wasn't using this to classify content, but as a simple place holder for strings. I then went off to write taxonomy 2.0, but found the task was too large on its own to complete in a reasonable time.

Pathauto taxonomy

Hey all,

To get strait to the point.

Pathauto creates alias for taxonomy/term/1 and you can set it to be [vocab]/[catpath].

What if I would like to create more aliases for the same vocabulary like for soccer/[catpath] to be soccer/[catpath] ?

I took a look at pathauto_taxonomy.inc and tried to hard code it in but with no luck.

I would like that so I can rewrite Views urls. Now you can say that I can pass a taxonomy term to a view and solve that.
For some reason it's just not the solution I'm looking for ...

Can anyone help me with this ?

Cheers!

Using CCK taxonomy fields to tag users or Tagging nodes like the profile module does

I love the way you can use a phrase like "People who live in %" using the regular Drupal profile module and then by clicking the link, get a list of all users who live in %. I'm trying to get the same thing happening with profiles as nodes. I've tried using CCK taxonomy fields in both the Node Profiles and the Bio Modules. It almost works, but only intermittantly. Sometimes I get the message "There are currently no posts in this category ..." other times, some users will show up and others won't - even when they have been tagged with the the term.

Churches Group Categories

When I created this group, I really didn't expect to see 84 subscribers listed. I confess that I haven't been nearly as involved in this group as I should have been. There are a number of contributing factors in that, but I won't bore you. However, since this has become a rather popular place (and because ebrittweb suggested it a while back) I'd like to make it a little easier to use by adding some custom taxonomy. Before I do that, though, I'd like to get some opinions from the group on how to organize the vocabularies and terms.

Community-managed Categories

(Submitted at five seconds of the deadline!)

<

blockquote>Abstract: I will introduce several features to enable communities of users to create and manage categories directly. Users will be able to vote to combine terms or to move terms under one another in a hierarchy.
