[TYPO3-mvc] ExtCommon - an idea

[Michael Knoll]

Hi Masi,

I would not call it ExtCommon, but ExtCategories for example, as this is 
   a subject big enough for an own extension. Let's implement a nested 
set category system that enables hierarchically nested categories with a 
single database query - I would like to implement that :-)

see http://www.klempert.de/nested_sets/

I think it's rather useful to think about some interfaces that have to 
be implemented by "categorizable" objects so that a common extension can 
handle the algorithms for selecting, inserting, updating and deleting 
categories and their respective contents...

The other tasks (tags, comments etc.) should go into seperate extensions.

Remind, that there already has been an attempt to create an extension 
for categories (tx_categories?!?).

Greetings

Michael
