[drupal-support] dealing with a large vocabulary

I think you need to model how you would look them up if they were physical
cards in your hand.
How many piles would you make? How would you name them?

Then Look at how I did it at http://inmrc.com 
Look at Site Navigation and at the site map.
For a large list You need to not have it expand automatically.

It would be really terrific if I could figure out how to make the term
display instead of the taxonomy link.

I believe it can be done! Maybe a job for the Document team.

Subject: [drupal-support] dealing with a large vocabulary

I am looking for advice.

I am planning to make a vocabulary of Anime Series.  (ah, the rare girl
otaku ;).  I haven't thought it all through, but I believe making the
vocabulary has lots of benefits in terms of cross referencing everything on
the site.

Obviously, there are thousands of series, though.  Technically, I will limit
them to things that have to do with the site, which cuts it down some.

I initially split it up into # - B, C - E, etc, but ran into problems with
the cvs weblinks module, since it would only let you choose one vocabulary
for navigation, and I wanted it to spit out links for each series (it makes
sense for what I was trying to do, promise). 

So then, I thought, okay, maybe it would be better to make it all one big
list.  But as I make it, I lose confidence.  Is this how people deal with
large vocabularies in Drupal?  I don't know that I want my users to have to
select from such a big list, but six little lists looked ugly too.

Any advice appreciated.

Anisa.
