Making tagging work better

This post contains the consensus on the tags we have come up with for certain class topics.

Topics:

Today in class, we discussed how to make tagging work better. Basically, we want to achieve two goals:

  • Identify conversations, so that people can track questions and responses.
  • Have a usable archive for later reference.

    • We identified the following two solutions:

    • For class questions, use the tag classquestions plus another tag to indicate the specifics, for instance normalization. The tag classquestions is the big cue that you are talking about class. As time goes by, we will likely add more general tags like troubleshoot for software problems.
    • For topics others bring up and you want to respond to, use that person's topic. That way, they will know you are specifically posting on the area they are interested in, and you can continue the conversation.
