Right now, however, we're pointing them to the web-applications tag
which is *way* too broad. I agree that having one tag would be ideal,
but I'm not sure if one tag will suffice.
While firefox-os is a great tag for questions that are specific to
Firefox OS, I wonder if there's a better tag we could apply for app
development questions in general. Looking at the questions tagged with
firefox-os, some of them are general app-related questions. It would be
good if we could settle on a tag that we link to from the DevHub for app
developers, not just Firefox OS users.
Looking at the recipient list on this message, I do not want to create
an 3 mailing list epic bikeshed color discussion on the topic of which
tag(s) to use for Stack Overflow, but I agree with Jeff that we need to
quickly settle in to a structure that we can support.
If you have thoughts on this or *want* to be a part of the bikeshedding,
please email me directly and we can run through it off list[1].
Picking one tag and re-tagging is great but you should also be curious
about what sorts of tags the original posters or the community assigns
to your questions and consider monitoring those as well if they prove
popular.
I can easily see people tagging anything related to the project with a
top-level tag like firefox-os, but this may become too noisy if there
are lots of questions in separate areas, for example porting fxos to
cyanogenmod vs hacking on Gaia vs strictly web app dev questions. We see
this with browser-addons vs firefox-addon vs firefox-addon-sdk.
