Yes, but they're not part of the interface.
So what?!
The first step has been made on the technical side. _No_ step has been
made at all on the categorization side.
The technology needs to work with the data - the six
million files and
their categories, carefully added by hand by humans.
The technology works in
principle. But it can never work fully
satisfactory with the current categorization scheme.
If category intersections worked,
They do.
Demanding that all six million files be de-categorised
before you'll
even allow a category intersection tool to *possibly* be deployed is
backward.
I never demanded that. Geez. What I want is the commons community
pledges support for a change of the categorization system. Putting
intersection in the interface before they do is a _waste of time_.
I'm asking for them to show the _tiniest_ sign of support. The
programmers have already bent over backwards (including me with my own
intersection tool)
Of course recategorisation will take time, and so will the deployment
of a production quality intersection interface. Stop pretending that
either side has to finish all their work first and show a polished end
result! That will never work and just stall developments.
