Vocab/Term VS Node Relation Audit List

Assume we are doing a project of having to create a story page for each topic in our Biology cirriculum.

For this, we have created a drupal site, and have mapped the TOC of the university text book into the taxonomy module... i.e. our categories are TOC replica.

We have hundreds of topics to cover, and student are randomly assigned diffrent topic to work on (each one is supposed to write up a summary story from different TOC topics) ... ok fine.

NOW,

We request the feature that serves the following purpose:

* To be able to see a specially CSS styled tree list of our terms under the target vocabulary; that highlight:
* -- the terms which (at least) a node has been derrived from that term.
* -- The number of nodes related to that term per row + The last edited date (of that node itself) + Author Name
* -- The terms which were not used should appear as grey , or no highlight at all. (style preferences)
* -- The ability to create a new node by directly clicking on a term (page/story/book page, depending on user prefence)

That is mainly the concept idea, indeed it can go further, but let us make it simple and efficiently applicable.

Goal is to visit this list by different authors or contributers, and they shall know where to shoot (attack the undescribed terms and work our a summary story for them)

This is highly collaborative not only for working groups, but also for one indvidual who is maintaining such site, as well as for the visitors who would know how far thing are covered and going.

Thanks in advance,

I hope to have this as a standard feature of drupal.... it is a huge value and acts as a nice bridge between the separated spheres of the Nodes and the Terms as in Drupal Design Concept.
