[p2p-research] semantic wiki extension

well, I do have some issues with it ...

we had a taxonomical system, represented by the three columns of the main
wiki page, and the geographic distinctions

i.e. internal material, topical material, and format categories

most of your contributions and new category tags are internal material,
which was not existent before, so I'm happy with that, though I won't use
them much myself,

but then, in your proposed
http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:P2P_Resource_Collections you mix both
topics and formats, and I don't think that is a good idea ...

personally, I see our minds functioning very differently, and it is true
that the wiki presently corresponds to a particular way of thinking, and
probably my librarian thinking ...

but I feel that most new categories are not obvious for me, and represent a
particular Rollin point of view, the problem is that they are now not
accessible via the main page, so people have to be in the know, which is why
I proposed that you add your own subcolumn on the left side

so I feel,

that most rollin categories should be under subcategory one, the internal
stack

that the others should either be under topic or format

and geography and languages are added aspects of any article
