-====== FreeQA : Freetagging Quality Agent ======
-===== The problem =====
-  * Freetagging vocabularies allow taxonomies to be built on the fly, whether that be by any contributor (à la wikiwiki), or just a reduced set of authors
-  * For publicly writable taxonomies, it is probably best to leave vocabularies as they are created, to avoid interfering with users' choices. OTOH, for redacted/edited sites, consistency is typically wished amongst articles.
-  * Freetagging vocabularies in 4.7 allow authors to choose from already defined terms, but
-    * this doesn't work in some themes
-    * this doesn't work on browsers without JS enabled
-    * due the the very "free" tagging mechanism, additional terms can be entered
-  * The unavoidable consequence is that over time, several spellings will usually appear for terms that should be unique, as they would be under a controlled vocabulary
-===== The solution =====
-  * First level:
-    * amend the terms edit form so that nodes using any term are made available to admins along with the term definition
-    * allow automatic term changes from there: if a term if identified as a new spelling of another, allow the admin to automatically change the term in the disfavoured spelling for all nodes using it to the term with the favoured spelling, and delete the disfavoured spelling
-    * maintain a marker of "latest revised term" within for each freetagging vocabulary, and allow the admin to skip directly to that node, and order on term creation date
-  * Second level:
-    * Scan vocabularies for potential duplicates, using various algoriths like soundex and porter stemmer, to suggest additional term fusions
