post 0.1 feature requests

already and I thought I'd pass them along. He requested sub
catagories and previewing posts. The first would be a nice to have
but the second would definitely be useful, especially since revisions
of posts are treated as rows in the table.

got around to doing). I think I'll freeze the features now and let
bugs trickle out for a week or so before tagging 0.1
I'm not quite sure about the utility of sub-categories. It seems,
from my admittedly limited perspective, that many forums
over-structure their topics/subtopics lists resulting in a few active
categories and a lots of inactive categories. One alternative would
be to have users tag forums. I dunno - counter arguments?

Ok, I'll update and add in my hack until we can diagnose the issue
correctly.

So the argument for sub-categories is control. Example:
- you have a generel topic area for chat among all of your members.
Sub categories off of this would be things like announcements and
general discussion.
- you have a group specific topic area for members of a particular
group. Only members of this group have permissions to view and
interact with this area.
Tagging would work in some cases, where users want to manage their own
system of organization. Control becomes an issue at this point
because in order to manage view permissions for particular threads,
you would need to create a group for each tag.
