joomla taxonomy
Development is under way
The development of the taxonomy component is well under way. The basic skeleton is done, data model and the first API (mostly towards plugins). There is a Term Manager and Taxonomy Manager working, and while it doesn't offer any hierarchical visualization of taxonomies, it is quite useful right now.
Have a look (it has out-dated Joomla looks, but well, it's designed for J!1 right now).
Joomla! Taxonomy
Joomla needs a taxonomy extension. I've started working on such a taxonomy component for Joomla, allowing complex hierarchies of content and multiple categories.
When I first set my foot on the land of Joomla! over a year ago, I pretty quickly started to like the flexibility and hackability of Joomla!, until the moment I needed to migrate it to a more recent version... But this is not the subject here. I have also discovered a major flaw - very rigid and simplistic taxonomy. The sites I've been working on at that time started then to discover that this single section - category approach is pretty limiting. When I have created my custom solution towards multi-site Joomla installation, my major problem started to be exactly this - how to create separate taxonomies for separate sites?
