Topic-centric, rather than feature-centric tikiwiki
Hi,
I was wondering whether there were any plans to make tiki facilities to allow for topic-centric information to be presented to the user, rather than module-centric information. At the moment (from what I can tell), tikiwiki provides an image gallery (for pictures), articles (for text), blogs, forums, directory (for external links), file galleries (for files). So you store your information in a location depending on its type.
What I would like to do is organise information according to my classification. So if I was making a cookbook, I might have a 'soups' section, a 'vegetables' section, a 'deserts' section, etc. Each of those may then be further broken down if I wanted, making a tree-type structure.
In the 'soup' section, I might have a recipe for celery soup which I typed in (article), a recipe for carrot soup as a pdf file which I scanned in (file), and a link to a site with a good potato soup (directory). I want these listed under one 'soups' heading.
Currently, I'd have to search articles, directory, forums, blogs, and files looking for the recipe I wanted (I KNOW it's in there, but can't remember the format).
There are ways of classifying information, including categories, freetags, types, and topics, but these only apply to a few of the data types; none cut across all data types.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a tree structure that allows me to organise the information however I'd like as a tree, with each node able to contain various types of information, including other folders. Being able to add keywords or tags would be good too, so long as all data types support them.
Anyone know of any plans???
Thanks for any info.
Regards
Richard
