Not waiting for the HIG ;), this is a quick idea ported from Basecamp, to let admins jump to the taxonomy admin pages whenever they find that they need to extend the categories. I often come to the conclusion that the available terms are not enough, and I need to add more, in which case this link is quite handy. Otherwise it will probably be debated :)

Goba -- looks good.

Question: I've been working a bit with taxonomy-otf. This might be extended, or indeed rolled into taxonomy proper, to offer a field underneath each vocab displayed.

There would of course be a "create new taxo-otf" permission so it could be limited (or, in the case of blogs for example, used as a tag-like system).

Good idea? Leave it in taxo-otf?

Boris, it might be a good idea to integrate taxonomy OTF, it makes manageabilty easier. Folksonomy module is also something to look at in this area.

I think folksonomy has very specific uses as a multiply-contributed-to tag-based system. The manageability of taxo-OTF could apply just as easily to a centrally-controlled taxonomy.

I think it would make more sense to directly put in a textfield where people with the neccessary privileges could add terms. After node submission they should get a form where they can add things like term descriptions for their newly created terms.

The current patch isn't core worthy, IMHO. Set to a diffrent status if you disagree. :)
