This is the diligent new user's first guide to taxonomy. I can see it
tries very hard to explain a complicated concept. I don't really
understand it myself, but one comment.
This section, under advanced: Using hierarchies:
============================================================
For example, the vocabulary Food could include the following categories
and subcategories:
* Dairy
o Milk
* Drink
o Alchohol
+ Beer
+ Wine
o Pop
o Milk
* Meat
o Beef
o Chicken
o Lamb
* Spices
o Sugar
==================================
While I could understand this example if we were, for example, making
Mother Earth's Cookbook, we're all here to make a website. Make the
examples *website* related. It makes it easier to understand because it
puts things in the perspective of what the user probably wants to do. I
see many, and have made a few myself, requests for examples of
taxonomy. Why not give some *concrete* examples here?
One thing I have always thought of as a good idea would be examples that
show how drupal.org itself makes use of taxonomy. It makes more sense,
I think, when you see it in action.
