using of global categories within a module
Maybe this more a ticket for the cms module, I'm not really sure.
In fact, I created some global categories and subcategories. But it's not possible to pick it up within the cms module. I can use and see the module categories only.

I only implemented module categories in CMS at this stage.
Actually I haven't implemented global categories anywhere yet, as I haven't found a good use case for them that is not already covered by tags, and haven't got a good idea on how to combine them with module-specific categories yet. Some ideas:
- Maybe a category index page for the Sprockets module (showing a list of global categories in a wf-downloads-like manner, and possibly module category trees as well). That would give you a 'sitemap', at least for all the categories and different modules.
- Select/navigation boxes: Maybe separating the global / module categories with a dividing line ----, or maybe just mixing them in alphabetically (in which case, it will not be obvious which are global and which are module).
If you have some ideas on how you want to use them in CMS let me know.
