Should it be somehow under > version control or what? let people edit things. make logs of all 'delete tag from module' operations - i doubt there will be many such operations. give the community the benefit of the doubt - it'll take care of itself (i.e. if enough people come in and one made a mistake, someone else will fix it). > Shall I give a simple text input to list all the tags or shall I give > also a drop-down list > of all the existing tags? a drop-down will be problematic because people will want to create new tags (and that should be allowed for everyone). let people edit tags, e.g. in case someone accidentally wrote a tag with a spelling mistake. you could give a drop-down of common tags, and a text entry field. people will look things up in the list, or type the tag by name. > Case sensitivity of tags? translate all letters to lower-case (or first capital the rest lower) and you're done with case sensitivity problems. --guy _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
