[wp-testers] "Categories"

[Sean Hayford O'Leary]

I've been toying with this thought since 1.2, but it seems all the
more relevant with 1.6/2.0.

Categories aren't really categories anymore. Here's the thought: Each
item fits into ONE category, just as an HTML file might fit into ONE
folder (taxonomy).
But in WP (especially with on-the-fly category additions), it's really
more like tags (folksonomy).

Look at Flickr's tags and look at the traditional directory/file
taxonomy structure. In my opinion WP's categories far better resemble
tags than taxonomy.

Basic point: I feel that, especially with "tag" becoming a more widely
used term, WP's admin ui should refer to categories as tags.

What do you guys think?
