It's definitely a good idea. Plenty people have expressed interest in
having a taxonomy to tag handbook pages.

Hi,


We just changed the snippets http://drupal.org/node/39282, but we need
a little more.
Since they are handbook pages, one cannot track them by mail
subscriptions, or in issues, or even by RSS. But tracking is quite
important, to see to it that no-one adds a snippet that does horrible
things. But also, it can be very handy for users to track, for examlpe
all 4.7 + snippet entries to see if interesting 4.7 snippets were
added.


In order to track the snippets in one's RSS reader we need an
additional term, or more terms.


I am not sure about the taxonomy for books, we have now, but i want one
term: "PHP snippet"

Thanks for putting together the snippets handbook page.. it's easier to
navigate now but I think the handbook pages are the wrong place to be
storing them


I suggested using a more knowledge-based style snippets respository a
while back..using a flexinode defined content type..especially for the
theme snippets where a preview/screenshot or iframe based demo is
simple to submit and unobtrusive.


Proposed new Theming contributions library based on Snippets rather
than \"full\" themes....  [1]


In terms of taxonomy terms..i think a parent of "SNIPPETS" along the
lines of the following might be more appropriate:


DRUPAL SNIPPETS
------------------
- css snippets
- php page snippets
- block snippets
- theme snippets
   -- phptemplate snippets
       -- user profile snippets (A few already exist)
       -- node-blog.tpl.php snippets
       -- node-gallery.tpl.php snippets
       -- node-whatever.tpl.php snippets


Not sure if that helps or hinders..but, I thought I'd mention it.

The only taxonomy we currently have applied to taxonomy pages is "Drupal
version," and that taxonomy is also applied to forums, polls, and
images.


It sounds like you are suggesting a new taxonomy. Shouldn't this
perhaps be part of a larger solution for a taxonomy for all handbook
pages, a way to tag any handbook page content (not just snippets)?

I feared there would not be a taxonomy for the handbooks. Ill mail the
list about this.
