I'd like Roller to address the "ease of tagging" and/or "ease of categorization" by integrating some auto-text classification mechanisms. Create a learning mechanism which can observe manual tagging or categorizations and eventually suggest tags or categories for a particular entry. I intend on trying to incorporate Classifier4J into Roller at some point to explore this, but I really don't know when I'll have the time to do that. As a blog author, I would like my entries to determine the classification, not the other way around, especially after training the system. Compose the entry, push a "auto-categorize" or "auto-tag" button and get the suggested answer back. Incorporate DWR and do a "Google Suggests" type of UI. Or something. Classification seems to roll-up into the Planet-space quite nicely. Planet already has categorization - I think it would be nifty if different feeds or blogs or even individual entries could automagically aggregate into clusters - "birds of a feather" or "strange bedfellows". I have no association nor experience with Classifier4J; I'm not married to it. I will not have access to email for a week starting tonight so I won't be able to followup. But this seemed like the right time to mention classification.
