I bleed yellow, but I bleed a "Notes/Domino" shade of yellow the most. So its great to see good looking stuff coming out of Domino via the "Domino Powered" product wiki's on developerWorks.

Ed Brill also wrote a piece here.

Content in each wiki is organised by top level categories, however content is also joined across categories by tagging. So you have a "master" tag cloud on the home page, that allows you to see content by tags across all areas, but when you enter a content area the tag cloud automatically filters down. This then allows you to view content filtered by tags in that area. For me a great, but simple, illustration of how categories and tags can work together (and the differences between them - splitting v joining).

This allows for maximum flexibility without making the user choose between a hundred category levels, and then find they are not where they want to be.

For the wiki purists, obviously there is more to come to make these the ultimate in wiki, but small steps etc.
