On a related note, here are the four basic features I think any categorization package should provide to OpenACS:
  • UI to manage categories. This is fully implemented in the current package.
  • Documented code snippet to add to any OpenACS object's UI to associate the object with categories. (This is analagous to putting an "add/view comments" blurb, as documented in General_comments in Advanced Tutorial). As far as I know, this is not done.
  • Documented code snippet to display category info per object. Also analagous to comments. Also not done, AFAIK.
  • By adding a flag to list-builder, automatically filter objects by category. Not implemented.

Joel,

Dave Hill and I will probably be building some of what you are asking, for a site we are developing for pps.org.  We'll keep you posted.
