Person

This module is required by the Milan Module. The idea is for the module to provide a basic module to support a variety of other modules. The Milan module uses the person module to Track author's of books. A baseball card module could use the Person module as the basis to track baseball players.

How would another module differentiate between authors and baseball players? First it would be differentiated by Taxonomy. Milan persons have the Seafarer->Book->Authors taxonomy and that is how one knows a person is an author. Secondly Milan uses the hook_nodeapi to identify authors and display them differently.

My searches did not show any similar modules. I am interested in any suggestions on how to make this module more useful to others. I recently found a very similar module. Some slight differences in thoughts on how it should be used.

Found this post with some ideas on expanding the person node.
