Oh. My. Gosh. I heard about and installed the Taxonomy Manager module for Drupal 5 — which was a just-completed Google Summer of Code 2007 submission — and it is fantastic. It makes managing taxonomy in Drupal so much more fluid. No, it makes taxonomy management possible.
It’s not perfect, and there are little visual oddities in the version I installed, but Taxonomy Manager is so much better than the normal user interface for taxonomy in Drupal core that I can’t see using anything else now. I’ve been spoiled.
Hearing about stuff like this — even if it’s nearly a throwaway comment by Angie Byron, almost lost in all the other voices on episode 48 — is exactly why I listen to the Lullabot Drupal Podcast. Thank you.
Oh, and sometime, I will look into free tagging. Gotta do that. Love it on del.icio.us.
