I've been meaning to suggest new tags for a while now, but as I didn't have anything to tag lately, it slipped my mind... Some issues I recall from the past (incomplete, I will amend this list sometime soon): The fields:: facet currently contains a subset of the fields as defined by the task files. It would be nice to have missing tasks (where relevant) included here, namely: field::engineering field::cognitive-neuroscience field::machine-learning * -dev tasks not mentioned would be covered by field:: + devel:: * typsetting is covered by use::typesetting * viewing is covered by use::viewing * image analysis is covered by use::analysing (+ what?) As I am personally focused on the machine learning task, I could even imagine finer distinctions such as: field::machinelearning:supervised field::machinelearning:unsupervised -- etc -- The science:: facet has some overlap with the use::facet, for example: science::calculation use::calculating science::visualization use::viewing (description says: "Data Visualization") Personally, I'd prefer to see all these generalized to uses:: and specialized by field:: or whatever, if that is even necessary. For example, there is: science::plotting So what about all other uses of plotting? I think use::plotting would be much more appropriate. Same goes for modelling, etc. I also find that the facet biology:: is misplaced at the top level. It appears redundant to field::biology and IMHO doesn't fit in with the other top-level facets. On a lesser note, the implemented-in:: facet is missing implemented-in::octave. As I said, there were other issues, but I'll have to research them a bit more.
