taxonomy

Hi there

I'm looking for some advice on taxonomies and tagging.

I've got a main site taxonomy that users can add to and can select multiple terms.

This works well up to a point - I've been tagging stuff and have created blocks such as 'related events' which appear on pages that share the same taxonomy term.

Obviously there is a tipping point where you can end up with too many 'related items'. Events or news for example can be limited to those that are current.

I am new to Drupal and trying to work out the best way to approach managing content and contributors for a public facing school website:

• I want to categorize content into groups like "PTO", "Athletics", "Administration"
• It seems like taxonomy is the right way to do this.
• Then I can structure my site navigation through this taxonomy
• I want to give individual users permission to create nodes tagged with particular terms. I.e. the PTO content maintainer would be required to create nodes with the "PTO" term
