[drupal-devel] rejected patch feedback for new developer

I am new to Drupal development and recently submitted a patch that allows site searches to be limited by taxonomy or taxonomies. My patch was rejected by a drupal developer and I am just looking for feedback from the community so that I might know how to make my patches more acceptable in the future. Follow our discussion at: http://drupal.org/node/28933 Thanks. Any comments are welcome, Jon
