Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this, but basically I was wondering if I could get a developer's opinion on whether it would be possible to have the category system work more like the tagging systems used by del.icio.us or flickr. There's a bit of a discussion at the village pump, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28techni... which might better explain the concept, but the idea is to bypass a lot of the problems the current system causes with regards to categorisation by gender, ethnicity, nationality, faith and sexual orientation. Any thoughts?
