Summary: Add tags to AppDB. Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fallenblood@gmail.com
The current category system is quite inflexible. How about a standardized tagging system? The possibilities are endless, for example, which Wine components does the app depend on. This could completely replace categories.

--- Comment #3 from nathan.n saturn_systems@yahoo.com 2010-10-22 18:53:42 CDT --- egasimus,
Interesting idea.
How about using the 'PHP Tag Engine'? http://code.google.com/p/phptagengine/
Are you offering to code it up:)
You mentioned converting:
Existing: *Categories to tags (this I read as proving the tagging system works with the existing data base eg: straight conversion to tagging / with no change visible to users?)
Creating a new group called: *Dependencies (?) how do you see this working, what happens when wine improves to the point the dependency is no longer needed.
Q:Should users be able to tag or should applications only be tagged by application maintainers.
Q:Should the tags be standardised and say based on bugzilla's Component list used when reporting bugs.
How do you believe it should work?

--- Comment #4 from Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes alexsornes@gmail.com 2011-04-25 18:10:00 CDT --- Well, we now have a sort of tagging support in the AppDB. One thing I could think of is to re-implement the categories system based on tags, so that an application could belong to several categories.

--- Comment #5 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2011-04-25 19:11:43 CDT --- How does that work? I can't find that option?

--- Comment #6 from Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes alexsornes@gmail.com 2011-04-25 19:26:46 CDT --- No, there is no user interface for it, but we have PHP classes for managing tags now (used by Common Replies and Notes).

--- Comment #8 from Jeff D. Hanson jhansonxi@gmail.com --- I would like to see this implemented to replace categories. I often have apps that belong to more than one category. Tags allow for multiple associations that a category tree does not.
However, while I agree that declaring dependencies is useful (bug #42089), I don't think that tags are appropriate for that. There are too many combinations of app versions, dependency versions, and architectures which would greatly complicate tag management.
For most reporters it would be overwhelming to determine Wine component dependencies. Automation would be required (although that raises some ideas for statistical analysis of library and function call popularity).

--- Comment #9 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- Missing from this discussion is any mention of keywords, which the AppDB has always had and which we can now even search by. What would the proposed tagging system offer that can't be accomplished with keywords?
