^^ what do you think?

iKlsR

@Vader About 6 atm I think

4 main ones and 3 others currently

There's Ton, Brecht, Campbell and Sergey

stacker

@iKlsR around a dozen: code.blender.org/index.php/2013/12/plans-for-2014-2015

iKlsR

@gandalf3 didn't we already discuss this

gandalf3

Yes

But the amount of snapping questions we get..

iKlsR

@stacker yes, so 6 full time

gandalf3

Why shouldn't it be a tag?

iKlsR

@gandalf3 I think we opted to drop under modeling I think

gandalf3

I guess that might make sense

Vader

@iKlsR more tags is not a bad thing. I think we should create it

iKlsR

@Vader It was already created.

gandalf3

But we have so many questions, I feel like we should have another category..

iKlsR

Feb 27, 2014 20:54

@Vader It's no the problem of creating it or having more tags, it's of having so many small localized tags.

gandalf3

@iKlsR Twice at a that :P

I'm not sure it is localized..

stacker

@Vader The more question we get the more it would help to organiza, yep.

Vader

ohk

gandalf3

blender.stackexchange.com/search?q=snapping Nearly all of those could use a snapping tag

Vader

I think it is natural thet we will have more specific tags as user base grows

stacker

Feb 27, 2014 20:56

@gandalf3 That is an impressing example

iKlsR

Yes but I was always one for the large broad tag. This was sometime ago still and we have grown twice the size since then.

True, we should think about being more specific tho.

Just don't want too many modeling, editing or viewport derivatives floating around.

gandalf3

@iKlsR I agree with that

Things like extrude and mirror etc.

wait, mirror is an actual tag..

stacker

@iKlsR I absolutly agree with that, time will tell although I was sceptical in the first place.

gandalf3

Should that one be a synonym of modifiers?

I know there are other ways of mirroring,,

iKlsR

@gandalf3 Not really, you can mirror with Ctrl M and you can also mirror in other views excluding the 3d view and on objects that the modifier doesn't work on.

gandalf3

But they probably would be best under modeling

I guess maybe not

nvm, mirror is good

The great tag cleanup of 2013.

gandalf3

@iKlsR That's convenient..

iKlsR

@gandalf3 @Vader @stacker Actually, I say go for it.

stacker

@iKlsR This should be a meta topic

gandalf3

I didn't know you could separate little snippets of the chat..

iKlsR

Feb 27, 2014 21:03

Create as many as you think are needed, we can always set aside a couple minutes to purge and refactor.

gandalf3

@iKlsR Go for what?

What should we do about all the potential snapping questions that are not tagged with snapping?

Tag them all?

Or leave them and just tag new ones?

iKlsR

I was thinking of trashing editing since it's on so many of them but that would affect other questions.

stacker

@gandalf3 And what about "adjust normals"?

iKlsR

We could start with new ones and older more explicit snapping questions.

gandalf3

@iKlsR editing does seem a bit borderline too general..

@stacker Hm?

iKlsR

Feb 27, 2014 21:05

@gandalf3 Well, it can be used in correlation with the text editor, the vse etc.

gandalf3

@iKlsR Perhaps.. but it can and is used nearly everywhere.. plus we have text-editor and video-editor..

iKlsR

heh

The general problem here is that we need to be more specific while not having these specific tags fit so neatly under the broad tag.

stacker

@gandalf3 sorry seems I got it wrong

gandalf3

Perhaps we ought to make this another tag discussion (well, it already is. But I mean officially)..

stacker

@gandalf3 We should do this on meta for users that join later

gandalf3

Feb 27, 2014 21:08

Good idea

iKlsR

@gandalf3 @stacker Yeah

gandalf3

Should I write something up?

iKlsR

Don't have the time right now tho for the discussion.

@gandalf3 For?

gandalf3

@iKlsR Meta Tags post

iKlsR

@gandalf3 Sure, why not.
