[drupal-devel] Folksonomy: No taxonomy.module Changes / URL Design

Here's the short version of the readme

Overview
This set consists of three items
- taxonomy.module.patch
A patch to taxonomy to stop it generating form elements for vocabularies 
that are from modules taxonomy or forum.

- folksonomy.module
A module to provide folksonomy support to contrib modules. Requires 
taxonomy

- folkterms.module
A module that demonstrates adding folksonomies to nodes using 
folksonomy.module.

Approach
- Uses taxonomy vocabulary and term tables to store all data.
- Creates term entries on the fly

Game Plan
I think this is the right long term approach. So the sequence is
1) Build proof of concept folksonomy.modules
2) Hack patches into taxonomy as we need them
3) Merge the finished folksonomy.module back into taxonomy

-------------------------------------
I've stopped working on this because I keep needing changes to taxonomy 
to go further. So I'm back to the other game plan.

1) Build proof of concept folksonomy.modules
2) Ignore Taxo for the moment and use separate folksonomy_term tables
3) Once the Proof of concept is far enough along go back to Taxonomy and 
work out what needs to change
4) Merge the finished folksonomy.module back into taxonomy
