Now that trac is up and running, I went through all the open tickets and
added my two cents to a fair number of them. One of them was ticket 11,
regarding adding a javascript mechanism for selecting
categories/locales.

You can see the result of my work at
http://boston.openguides.org/?id=Home;action=edit , under the Locales
and Category sections. My comment below provides a brief summary of the
way that I did it.

#11: Edit page category/locale selection
Comment:

Okay, so I've tossed something for this together on the Boston OpenGuides
site.

 * Created CGI::Wiki::Plugin:: Summariser, for generating metadata summary
lists, http://crschmidt.net/projects/Summariser.pm
 * Added some code to wiki.cgi in edit_node():

{{{
    my $summariser = CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Summariser->new;
    $wiki->register_plugin( plugin => $summariser );
    my @categories = $summariser->metadata_list( type => 'Category' );
    my @locales = $summariser->metadata_list( type => 'Locale' );
    my %tt_vars = ( global_categories => \@categories,
                    global_locales => \@locales,
                    ...
}}}
 * Added some code to edit_form.tt:

{{{
[% FOREACH category = global_categories %]
   <a href='#'
onclick="javascript:d=document.getElementById('categories');d.value =
d.value + '[% category %]\n'; return false;">
   [% category %]
   </a> *
[% END %]
}}}
and the same for locales.

It's not a *clean* solution by any means, but it works, and should get
anyone else who's interested in attacking the problem a running start.
