Community-managed Taxonomy
Suggested terms - module which solves part of the same problem CMT tackles
Community tagging solutions for Drupal, a comparision
From Gábor Hojtsy:
Amazing places? Towards an open database of location data.
Combined with community-managed taxonomy, I can see this making it possible for us (Drupal users and people who care about open knowledge) to create our own definitive geographic listing.
Right now place module only understands points, but once I understand geo well enough to use that method of storing location information instead... I'm sure it too can be democratized to allow the feedback of millions of people to identify what's where.
I'm at latitude and longitude such and such, and I am inside Natick!
Agaric would host a server to aggregate the votes...
Major change in CMT's internals: cmt_term_*_set functions become one cmt_term_attribute_set function
Old way:
/******************************************************************************
* The following _set functions save information to the cmt_term tables and
* subsequently to votingapi if appropriate. These function names are based
* on the table names.
*
* They are currently written for clarity over efficiency.
*/
/**
* Saves a community-managed term's description and updates votingAPI.
*
* First it checks to make sure the description doesn't already exist for
* this term (as unlikely as that might be), and if it does, uses that
Taxonomy Suggestion Accepter
A while back a client asked for the ability to accept taxonomy term (category) suggestions on his Drupal site. It's not what Community-Managed Taxonomy is meant for, but it's a potential application to keep in mind. Here's that request (that didn't go anywhere) and notes from the time:
