Note: This page is not for the discussion of what categories we'd like our webpage to have. For that, see "Organizing Our Website". This page discusses implementation issues.

Categories are assigned to resources (such as webpages) in order to organize our site. This functionality is provided by Drupal's Taxonomy module.

Categories can then be assigned properties, such as access permissions or site navigation hints, that will then be inherited by the resource they're assinged to. In this way, the behaviour of resources on our site can changed anytime by simply assigning the resource to any number of categories.

Note: See the Categories page for a live list of categories that currently make up our site.

Not knowing exactly what we'll be doing with our site (it should be a collaborative process), I (Dave Allen Barker Jr) just created two categories (under: Administer, Content management, Categories): "Category" and "Tag".
