Hi Lars!

After installing Fedora from scratch I didn't reinstall ACS yet, thus haven't been able to look what the current state of categorization is.

Timo and I are currently working on some very simple categorization (very ugly data model, for example types stored as root nodes in the categories table), but with some features added: synonyms and "fuzzy search". (Curently it doesn't have any explicit indexes, no transactions and the naming probably doesn't correspond to ACS standards.)

The reason for is that we need zillions of geographical categories (locations) and fuzzy search and synonyms are mandatory for that.

I'll post a reference to what we have during the next days,
it would be nice to have this integrated. As I said, I (or we)'d be interested to help with that.

Oh, and please call me Bernd, not Martin (remember the ugly dude from Octoberfest / Substanz-Club).

Thanks
