  Excellent, did you go to the D6 theming guide and check out the "Sticky notes?"
  
  My idea is to come up with a set of standard tags for the group to use on shared Diigo spoor, so that we can work our way through the various nodes related to theming, get them classified and then use that to ensure a good single navigation hierarchy for Book to use.
  
  I'm proceeding on the assumption we won't see robust use of tagging, or maybe even full consolidation of all the theming stuff into one Book anytime soon.
  
  IMO this would allows a group to work without depending on d.o. leadership time and attention - a most limited resource it seems. . .
  
  And the voluminous discussion won't clog up the issue queue or mailing list for those that aren't involved in the project.
  
  Obviously, periodic summary updates would keep the larger team informed as to our direction so as to be able to give feedback or join in the effort if they become interested.
  
  What do you think?

  Looks like we have to ask Add1sun for some official OK to form a sub-group to go through this section, and report back recommendations.

  Ah! I didn't see that. I thought there were only comments on bookmarked pages. I will check it out now.
  
  How to do this:
  
  - I have my diigo toolbar installed and opened
  - I browse to the theming handbook, and I will see pink highlighted words, where you've made comments
  - I right click and I can add sticky notes. If I select text then right click, I can add a highlight and sticky note
  - I can also bookmark
  
  - I must make sure to select which group I am publishing to.

  Oh this will be brilliant! I've not checked yet, but this is precisely the kind of thing that Diigo is made for! And it's what got me most excited about with Diigo - it reminded me of a similar system we used in the late 90's. We could write sticky notes on any page and share it with our team. We were gutted when they shut it down.

  Could we start with the top level tag of drupal-docs or something like that? And then we free tag after that until we find other repetitive tags?

  Yes - I think it's brilliant. I'll have a look at your current sticky notes and see what's going on now.
  
  Cheers,

  Nothing going on much yet, we've got an IRC in a few hours hopefully we can get Addy on board with the idea.
  
  Let's keep the actual group's bookmarks limited to D.O., referencing from those page comments with any external URLs.
  
  > Could we start with the top level tag of drupal-docs or something like that? And then we free tag after that until we find other repetitive tags?
  
  Just share the comments to the group, no need for that as a tag.
  
  Obviously our own bookmarking system as individuals can have anything we like, e.g. I use Evernote.
  
  But I hate to think about cleaning up freetagging on group comments once we get going on hundreds of pages, I think better to define a few standard vocabularies based on what we think is critical. But maybe I'm not getting how Diigo works, does each member's posting to the group show up as a separate bookmark? In which case we could come up with our own and then discuss merging them later. . .
  
  Now that I think about it, we need to look for an online collaboration tool to help define the hierarchy, then use tags that point to locations within that. Just tagging by topic,
  
  To give you an idea of some of the classification ideas discussed:
  
  I know someone who's going to want "Conceptual vs Procedural vs Mixed-OK vs Mixed-split out" but he's not here yet. Target audience/user role, importance of topic, accuracy of version applicability, accuracy of content.
