There can be an interface to normalize tags. Known synonyms can be merged to the primary list automatically warning user about substitution. If word is not in primary list the user may propose to add it to main list. Tags with most user proposals will clearly indicate candidates for inclusion. Users still should be able to tag issues with primary set of tags or propose a tag for an issue. This will partially take triaging burden off the core developers and will help to spot people with most proposals as potential contributors who deserve more tracker privileges. We need tags gameplay to get people addicted. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
