Be careful not to punish introduction of ideas. Anyway, it's not
possible nor should it be for random people to re-write the CMS and Wiki
software.
I appreciate the encouragement though.
If you a good list of metadata for the site, for project pages lets say,
or individual pages - put your thoughts up on the wiki
Propose a URL please so that it would go in the right place.
and point to it with an Email here I would guess.
Here:

If folks think it looks good they are going to find a way to let you
work on it or make the changes, don't you think?
Open any non-wiki page on the *.openoffice.org hierarchy and you will
see the same keywords. It would require changes to Collabnet. Adding
one line to a header cost four years,

Fixing two fields of metadata would be significantly more work. Though
on the absolute scale, having correct metadata in the web pages is easy.
The wiki is in better shape, there appears to be more unique metadata,
but munged and still with redundancies. [1] Comma separated values is
the standard practice if all descriptors go in the same element.
Otherwise, one per element. A change to the wiki might have to be done
and then submitted upstream. I am unfamiliar with media wiki.

Not so good:
<meta name="keywords" content="Documentation/OOo3
User Guides/Getting Started,Documentation/OOo3 User
Guides/Chapters,Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Getting
Started/Background information,Documentation/OOo3 User
Guides/Getting Started/Copyright,Documentation/OOo3
User Guides/Getting Started/Creating Web
Pages,Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Getting
Started/Customizing OpenOffice.org,Documentation/OOo3
User Guides/Getting Started/Getting Started with
Base,Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Getting
Started/Getting Started with Calc,Documentation/OOo3
User Guides/Getting Started/Getting Started with
Draw,Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Getting
Started/Getting Started with Impress,Documentation/OOo3
User Guides/Getting Started/Getting Started with
Macros" />
Better, option A:
<meta name="keywords" content="User Guides, Getting
Started, Documentation, Impress, Macros" />
Better, option B:
<meta name="keywords" content="User Guides />
<meta name="keywords" content="Getting Started />
<meta name="keywords" content="Documentation />
<meta name="keywords" content="Impress />
<meta name="keywords" content="Macros" />
Very fancy (and good conversation starter at ALA):
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="User Guides />
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="Getting Started />
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="Documentation />
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="Impress />
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="Macros" />
