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.
