Hey guys.

Please have a think about the following questions, and let me know your thoughts

1) Do you think the tagging system needs attention, and if so, why.

2) Do you think our existing tag structure is OK, or could be improved - discuss

3) What's the biggest single improvement that could be made to the tag system

2) Do you think our existing tag structure is OK, or could be improved - discuss

I think we have some minor cleanup needed to harmonize the existing tags and clean up minor wording differences osxwhatever vs osx-whatever

My questions are mere starters for 10. brain dump your entire tag opinions in here please :)

How do people think of this list of the OSX primary tags as a whole? stackexchange.com/filters/11798/osx-on-apple should anything be added or taken away from this "filter" of definitive OSX tags. The rest can stay as merged synonyms for 10.5 and newer...

hey@NathanGreenstein Haven't see you lately.

Hey

Been super busy with school this week, sorry

I've got next week off, so I'll be back then :)

@NathanGreenstein Lucky!

4)How important are tag badges to AD? Should be structure our synonyms to enable the introduction of more, or do we do it another way?

I don't have long here, but I'll think about the questions and post my thoughts as soon as I can

No rush.

I want to think long and hard about this to stand a better chance of getting a decent MSO question that doesn;t get shot down

I should have put a statement at the top really

Umm @stuffe: "Formulate"

(In the description of this room.)

This room is for the discussion of the Tag system for SE as a whole, and for the AD implementation of tags and synonyms, with the goal of understanding community consensus for posting a joint MSO question

@daviesgeek Yeah, I can;t ammend it.

Why not?

You can sticky stars? (mods can, I think)

No, I don't have sticky stars.

@daviesgeek well, you might be able to, I can;t see where.

@bmike Mr. Mod, will you please stick star the objective of this room?

I "pinned" it

perhaps I am the room owner so I get that power?

@stuffe Oh, you did do it.

I thought bmike did it....

Yup, at least it said "pin", and I clicked it, now i can "unpin"

must be that mods own the previous room, hence having the ability

anyway.

Cool!

Fire away on your tag thoughts.

try to be distinct about things that pertain to the SE tag system, how it can be improved or ammended, and things that pertain to our usage of it, whether we have the right tags.too many tags, poor synonyms etc

I am talking over in the other room...

No problem, just leaving a trail of comments for future roommates to catch up on

Ok.

@bmike can you change the topic to remove my awful typo, and add "how to improve it and our use of it"

or, alternatively, do that ;)
