Hi, when discussing about how to classify software better two ideas came up and I would like to ask for you opinions about them.
One is to have a "region::" tag that would include the rfc3166 regions. The meaning would be something like "useful mainly in this region". This could be e.g. a german tax application that is specific to the german tax law. Or a IM client that is used 99% in china. Or a english train table travel planer. The use-case would be that e.g. in software-center there would be a gentle warning that the app may not be useful in your current region. It could also be used to alter search results (e.g. region::cn and searching for IM). I know there is the culture:: tag, but it seems to not quite match the above plus its not granular enough for e.g. the tax application use-case (as culture::german is too broad and includes other german speaking countries with different tax laws). The other one (probably more controversial as this will clutter the Tags file a lot) is to include a translated::$lang tag when there is a translation for the app (or when more than e.g. 80% are translated). This would be useful to e.g. hide (or warn about) untranslated apps for the current users language. I'm not 100% convinced about this one myself as it will potentially increase the size of the tags quite a bit (but I guess I should actually measure this). But I would really like the feature :) If there is approval about the idea I'm happy to implement a client lib/command similar to the new debtagshw/debtags-hardware work. Feedback about the above ideas are very welcome!
