Second, remarks : 1) Not important, but when I first open the main page, most of tag are very small (on my 1600x1200 display), I found the idea quite of changing the font size for some tag quite interesting, but the smallest size seems a little bit too small. That's not very important, I can increase the font size, but as often the first look is important ... 2) Could it be possible to have a form field to enter tags, I think, as a first step a user may have a precise idea in mind, and digging into the huge list of tags (especialy if they are small ... ;) is not the fastest way to begin search. Of course, after 2 or more interations, using this interface with the related tag view is far more interessant. 3) I think this one is related to the community defined tags : I just try to find some ports I know as test, namely OCaml and CDuce, this are 2 functionnal languages (I'm aware of that is not apparent in the OCaml's port's comment) are related since the later depends on the former. I was thinking that the 2 may out with at least some common tags a little bit more specific than 'lang' and 'program'. I found the idea great, but since COMMENT wasn't totaly think for that, good keywords may escape your algorithmic search. Oh, another idea related to 2), would be an approximative or "ontology" based search for tag (you enter some keywords, and the magic algo behind find the most appropriate existing tag ;) Just befor someone says I can code it my self : I don't have the time, nor I think the skills to do that correctly, but I think algo and piece code for that already exist. This was my 2 cents. --=20 Marwan Burelle, http://www.lri.fr/~burelle ( burelle@lri.fr | Marwan.Burelle@ens.fr ) http://www.cduce.org --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDfQumI+2UvUKfgvgRAr6kAJwNPM/gfum8jzW3dMPUMV1XHXwbFwCeN8nk 7uDDXIz73q+6M/L/atHkjUY= =Jl9v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga--
