Hi all,
There were some suggestions on adding "LICENSE" variable in the forum
http://forum.slitaz.org/viewtopic.php?id=720
In case if the team decides to add "LICENSE" variable to all 1500 receipts, I may like to suggest another possible improvement : to add metadata using a KEYWORD or TAG variable.
Currently, the only metadata in the receipt we have is "CATEGORY". Christophe has used this metadata amazingly well to autogenerate the pkgs list on the new package webpage.
I was wondering if we could add some keywords/ tags to each receipt, then this metadata can be used to improve end-user experience in multiple ways, for example:
"search" in tazpkgbox can be more user-friendly. Many times it happens, we just type a keyword in searchbox to look for a pkg. For example, if you want a list of all the packages that can play mp3, you may type "mp3" in search box. However, you only get the list of packages (LAME and streamripper) that have mp3 text in their short description. This is not what you want. Extra metadata would be very useful for such things and can open possibilities of new tinyutils to better organize the pkgs information.
We may also like to create tags/keywords list which people can refer to while adding tags to receipts. A standard list that can be easily extended/modified would be useful.
BTW, does "redmine" provides an ability to add tags and do automatic content categorization.
Do you think its worth it or do you know simpler ways to get the same thing done?
