a liberty enhanced categorisation system
What are Pigeonholes?
Pigeonholes is a feature that replaces the legacy categories package. Pigeonholes makes it easy to organize, search and group content in hierarchically nested categories.What it does
as said, it's a categorisation system. it allows you to create a set of containers (each of which is a pigeonhole) and you can move them relative to each other in a nested system. here is an example to illustrate this (pigeonholes are in red and content in blue)- pigeonhole 1

the red content sits in their respective categories. there are options on how to display the related items in the same category and you can assign multiple content items easily by using the assign content page. this allows you to select a number of content items and add them to individual categories by simply checking the appropriate checkboxes. it's a very easy and quick way to keep your data categorised and up to date.
Incorporation
Pigeonholes is a service and therefore incorporates itself seamlessly into any content package that supports services. these include articles, wiki, blog posts...when it comes to editing a wiki page or a blog post, you can assign the content to a pigeonhole by selecting them using a list such as this one:
<?php
[ ] pigeonhole 1
[ ] pigeonhole 1 >> pigeonhole 1.1
[ ] pigeonhole 1 >> pigeonhole 1.1 >> pigeonhole 1.1.1
[ ] pigeonhole 1 >> pigeonhole 1.2
