Tag-based categorization/blog segregation

[Max Rudman <mr...@steelbrick.com>]

I have a requirement to segregate blogs based on their category. This  
would essentially be the opposite of Planet Roller; instead of  
aggregating content from different blog sites this would segregate  
content from the single Roller site. The idea here is to allow more  
views into content than "X most recent entries" and "Hot Weblogs"  
views available today.

Anil's proposal (http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp? 
page=Proposal_TagBasedCategories) would provide a good foundation for  
what I am trying to do. However, that proposal depends on tagging  
support. What is the status of tagging? Can I help in any way to move  
either one of these proposals along?

You should take a look at the Atlas proposals. In Roller 3.0, we're
adding a new page model, called the SitePageModel (plus macros) that
enables a blog to display entries with category and other types of
filtering, most commented weblogs, most commented entries and most
recent comments -- all including site-wide data.

I hope to have time to work on tagging and the IBM code contribution
sometime after 3.0 (August perhaps?).
