Your current collection will work fine I think; adding more sub-disctinctions can be done later in the process. I agree with the comment of Jack "The key is helping people see what you want them to do with the tags" So I would suggest you to translate the different tags you came up with. Isn't it (technologically) possible (I don't know) to translate the words in a collection of assoicative pictograms which is more meaningful or atractive for users. I could imagine (quick braindump) something like a baby, youngster, mature, old person. Just an idea. Great idea to think about tagging here.

Hence, the version I have for download on SLExchange does not work anymore, so I took it offline. Sorry about that. If you message RJ Desantis in Second Life, I can still give you a copy to experiment.

We would like to see whether such a set of tags also works within an organizational context to maintain a user-generated list of wiki pages that need some maintenance. Hi Ton,

For instance: thoughts, notes about a brainstorm, initial ideas to start a discussion, and so and. Could also be called "NeedsDiscussion". - "Final": maybe not suitable for a wiki, but could be a useful tag to indicate pages that are just "done". At least an alternative for "Official".

So, maybe a front page that lets you slice and dice the tags and the underlying pages associated with them. The best examples of this I have seen are in a presentation from Jordan Frank of Traction Software (http://www.tractionsoftware.com) last fall. He's seen clients use their software with very specific tags, and then those posts can be recombined in useful ways on a front page. The example I perused also included machine tags, so you could sort/filter by creation date and owner and the like. The key, I think, is helping people see what you want them to do with the tags.

Really, ideas are flying in the air :) You might be interested to take a look at <a href="http://memoranda.sf.net" rel="nofollow">Memoranda</a> OSS project I am involved in. This is a PIM software for notes/tasks/events organizing - at a personal level by now. The plans are to move it towards a IM-based collaboration tool working via XMPP/Jabber protocol. That is a user would be able to share her notes/tasks/schedules/files/contacts/other data in realtime with someone else who has a Jabber account (e.g. on Google Talk). With "group chats" it would be possible to create community workspaces for group collaboration. This is just an idea so far, but I hope we will do some developments in 2008. Nice to find your weblog :) Alex. Hi Robert,
