Incidentally this has gotten me out of the woodwork on this one as well. I've been working at CivicAction on a variety of odds and ends and one of the first things I've done to learn php and drupal was to play with the below taxonomy publishing module. It actually is more aimed at publishing taxonomies *and* content - but could be repurposed to publish only taxonomies. Much impressed with Sheldon's work and hopefully useful bits can be rolled together. Here is ours: http://dev.civicactions.net/cloud.module-0.01.tar.gz I don't feel it is 'shipworthy' yet because there are known defects (Aldon Hynes pointed out a few) - in particular the content is not being tagged right so it does not show up on the target site as 'published'. But I thought I'd push it out there on a 'release early release often' philosophy... or perhaps 'embarass myself into actually fixing the defects philosophy'. Perhaps the biggest defect is that it is a random grammer I invented. I'd really like to use RDF/SKOS.... then we could publish to other CMS'es... assuming they also followed some standard. I have to learn how to put it into CVS still as well... - a On Thu, 24 Feb 2005, Djun Kim wrote:
Sheldon, this is a great idea - much needed! I was thinking along the same lines and you've beaten me to it. I hope that this will help to further amplify the taxonomy system - one of Drupal's significant strengths.
The availability of this feature suggests some kind of repository for contributed taxonomies. Any ideas around this?
Thanks again!

Quoting Sheldon Rampton <sheldon@prwatch.org>:
I've just added my first project to Drupal contributions, titled "taxonomy_xml.module." Since this is my first time contributing (and I don't have a lot of experience with CVS), I'm not sure I did everything correctly. If I did anything wrong, I hope someone here can help me out so I can fix it.
I *have* participated previously in contributing revisions to wmfilter.module, which was written originally by Aldon Hynes and subsequently reworked by both Aldon and myself. After some discussions, we've decided that it ought to be renamed to "interwiki.module." What's the procedure we should follow to deprecate "wmfilter" and replace it with "interwiki"?
