I've been trying to work on some new mockups, and wanted to get some  
opinions before I show them. I'm running into an issue regarding  
tagging and presenting objects. Let's assume that we have a flat  
object space, and that we can apply tags to objects to be able to  
automatically sort them into groups. Let's also assume that we have  
projects, and projects can include objects of different types and  
with different tags. Thus, while tags and projects can both be used  
for grouping and organizing objects, tags create system-generated  
views (the system adds the contents), and projects are user-generated  
views (the user adds the contents).

Because tags and projects both occupy a similar role (as views on  
collections of objects), should a user be able to tag a project? If  
so, can I, as a user, have both an object tagged 'design' and a  
project tagged 'design'? And if I do a search on 'design', do I get  
both the objects and projects in my results list? Additionally, what  
should this results list look like? Should it be, in essence, a new  
project (meaning that all tag groups are really just system-generated  
projects)? If it is represented in a similar fashion as a project, we  
would end up with a project within a project... something we don't want.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.


J.
