Hello,
I agree that ContentItems is a rich, powerful but currently underutilised area, however we do have plans for this. In the 6.0 release there are a few additional API methods getting added to make certain scenarios easier, but beyond that there is nothing on the 6.0 roadmap. However Chris Paterra has been doing a lot of work on dotnetnuke.com modules and has added lots of contentitem related functions. This is being used as a valuable testing ground for the functions for potential core inclusion - at this moment there is a forge site for them at http://dnncontentlibrary.codeplex.com/ , but theres no source deployed yet. I believe we're discussing whether to add them into 6.0, but that discussion also involves the team who are migrating the recent ActiveSocial acquisition into the core, so i don't know the status of it.

In addition all module teams are being encouraged to use contentitems in their next release, at least taxonomy (if applicable) but others if theres a use case for them.

Finally Chris created a tag cloud project that's driven off contentitem taxonomy (http://dnnradtagcloud.codeplex.com/) and a series of blogs on taxonomy that are worth reading if you're new to this area (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/B... , Note: the blog link itself uses taxonomy to filter for the correct set of blog entries :) )
