I agree. I think the construction of standardised interfaces should be the first priority. We can have perhaps two (one for tags, one for topics, if we're unable to resolve the two concepts) but really should not have any more than that. Having a central library for managing tags/topics would be fantastic but very difficult to implement while being fast I think. > I like the definitions above, they reflect pretty much what's currently > used.

Thanks, and yes I agree. :) There was a minor error in the definition of topics, and it was pointed out that not all things are equally observable by others, but I'll correct that later. I'd like to send a similar email to a gnome developers or usability list to get more gnome-wide feedback. See ya!
