Hello, My humble 2 cents ... The "Classification Extension" may be of some help to start with [1]. I agree with you that having a real "taxonomy" transverse to all xwiki items (pages, spaces, objects..., blogs, tags, faq entries, ...) would be a great improvement IMO. Currently xwiki natural way of structuring content is more about parent/child relation-ship and spaces. Taxonomy could bring more meaning to that, as these relation-ships, in a big wiki, frequently are more "technical", or driven by rights, more than by taxonomy. Very frequently, you can't put a document in only one place logically, with a taxonomy you could relate it to more than one topic for instance.
