No one is going to find it on the wiki. The new list subscriber, signing up on the list, is typically going to find the list from this page: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html That is where the mailing list info is, the instructions on how to subscribe. That is also where we point to other mailing list guidelines. It is an ideal place to put the suggested topic tags, putting the mailing list info together in one place. If topic tags are changing at so rapid a rate that updating the website for them is inconvenient, then we're probably misusing them. If they are meant to be hints to human readers, then they can be fluid and change frequently and allow small variations, like Twitter tags. In that case, there is no need to document them. Subscribers learn the "folksonomy" by observation. But if they are being used for email inbox filter rules, hard coded into subscriber mail clients, then these better be relatively fixed and we lose nothing by putting them on the website. >> - Dennis >> > > +1 > > Jean > > >
