I have a very hard time using them for this purpose.
Even the Babel
ones. I was looking for a good German speaker not too long ago. The
problem is, I needed someone who was 1. fluent in German, 2. fluent in
English, 3. had a good chance of being online soon.
The Babel boxes were really no help in this -- unless I'm totally out
of the loop, I don't know of any way to do a JOIN type query in this
Wouldn't it be great if we had tags, rather than categories, and could
do queries on multiple tags at once?
Can someone come up with a decent proposal about this? Apparently lots
of other sites have them...
Having two tags "+living" "+person" makes much more sense than a
"Category:Living people". And similarly for having "+Cuban"
"+Pole
vaulter" rather than "Category:Cuban pole vaulters" (especially if the
person is also Chinese, or whatever).
