Taxonomy_multi_edit
Purpose

Edit the taxonomy designations of multiple nodes at once, without having to select each node individually. Simplifies changing a large number of nodes from one taxonomy classification.
UI

In admin/categories, a tab is added to "assign categories." Every node with at least one taxonomy designation is displayed in a table, with the first column being and the remaining columns being the available categories.
Pros

1. Easy to move a large number of nodes from one category to another
2. Allows admin to see the taxonomies of many nodes at once

Cons

1. Does not use pager, so it may be hard to use for very large sites. Similarly, one cannot narrow down the content to a more manageable size.
2. Screen gets wide for sites with many taxonomies.
3. Nodes with no taxonomy terms do not show up in the listing.

Conclusion

The basic functionality is useful, but the UI needs work. The UI should be moved to the 'admin/content' area and build off of the filtering system there. Additionally, there should be a way for users to limit the number of taxonomies to a manageable size. The pager should be used.
