[TYPO3-dev] Better TER categories

[Michael Scharkow]

Hi *,

after the huge motivational boost from T3DD06, I'd like to make TER more 
useful. One key to that is categorization. At the moment we have a 
handful of categories, which is great for sectioning in EM but sucks for 
more precise categorization.

A few thoughts and questions:

1. Do we want 1 ext -1 cat relationships like we have now, or tag-like 1 
ext - N categories? The former is certainly easier to manage, since we 
only need to update the list of official categories. Simple categories 
also allow for sectioning in the EM list interface. OTOH, tags are more 
flexible and trendy ;)

2. If we stick with categories we need a hierarchical tree, so that you 
can ideally match your extension to a distinct category, or simply move 
up one generalization level if you're in doubt or don't have a perfect 
match...

3. Somebody has to come up with that schema ;)

Greetings,
Michael
