Discuss, collaborate on, and share code and information for developing and using taxonomy and its contributed modules (and, where relevant, the more general topic of relating content).
Have questions about categorizing, tagging, sorting, or organizing stuff in Drupal? Used taxonomy in such a great way that you have to share? Want to talk about taxonomy so advanced even more esoteric words like ontology and orthogonality are needed to describe it? Need to keep up with the latest tools for all this? We shouldn't label people, but this group is for you!
CMT w02: UI and data model initial spec for Community Managed Taxonomy
User Interface
On any CMT-eligible node page, you have three operations.
The first, add term, applies to the node itself, and so can always be present.
The second and third apply to terms, and so have to have a user interface for each term a node has (if any).
Each operation can stand alone, but the latter operations can also be seen as subtasks of the above.

CMT w01: Initial plan for Community Managed Taxonomy
This project, like the rest of my life in general, is dedicated to my father, John Melançon, 1928–2007.
I'm a week [or two] behind on GSOC updates. I'll try to catch up with a couple in the next few days, and then be on report-back schedule every Friday. Less focused data dumps have been and will continue to be posted to Agaric Design Collective's site (desperately in need of an overhaul).
The Community Managed Taxonomy (CMT) vision, to recap, is the option to put taxonomy vocabularies under the control of your site's user community. Huge free tagging vocabularies can become consolidated and even hierarchical without giving up any of the openness of community tags. Categorization of content and even site structure can be put in the hands of users. Instead of trying to imagine in advance what categories ought to exist, or re-filing everything later, you, the admin, can spend your time on more important things, like reading Summer of Code posts about what's on its way for Drupal!
