However, looking at this, there are some items in some of the trees that are kinda members of more than one tree. Take bohdi for example, both packagers and community members that are using updates-testing and adding karma use bohdi.
Well, the underlying javascript tech doesn't handle trees crossing into one another very well.
Some easy-fix ideas:
- We could duplicate the entries like Bodhi so that they appear in multiple trees. - We could reorganize the subtrees along different terms. Instead of being User-Type-centric (i.e. are you a Packager? are you a Contributor?) we could make it Object-centric (i.e. does this app deal with packages? with documents? with servers?). That might help streamline the distinctions.
I dunno, I kind of like it the way it is. I don't think that experienced contributors will necessarily be deterred from checking out Tagger just because its under the "For New People" section.
Given some sweat and a good chunk of time, we could probably implement something that looks just like the Venn diagram with nice little animations; that is, if we really do need to represent all the different categories.
