[wp-hackers] Customizing the view of custom taxonomies

[Scott Bressler]

How much can the view for adding and editing custom taxonomies be
customized? I want to customize the display to show a dropdown of datetime,
plaintext, location, or WP user, and serialize this information into the
description field for the term. Can this be done with the custom taxonomy
API and ability to customize its UI, or do I need to bake my own UI entirely
from scratch?

Thanks!
