Hi Everyone,
As you'll be aware, there's a field on the form asking for tags for your
show. The intention is this metadata will be used to help in searching
for show topics once we have redesigned the underlying database. It can
currently be used to find stuff on archive.org because I copy our tags
there too when I upload shows.
If you don't add tags this means that an "HPR Volunteer" has to add
them. Mostly that's me; I need to check the show notes, and listen to
the show to make (what I hope are) suitable tag choices, and the way I
have arranged things I need to do this before uploading the show to
archive.org because I need the tags to pass to them.
At the time of writing there are five new shows in the queue without
tags for which I'll have to be the "tag giver" before archive.org gets
them ;-)
The proposed change is to make the tag field on the upload form
mandatory - in order that show contributors can be reminded to provide
tags at upload time.
I'd like to get some feedback from the HPR Community about whether this
change should go ahead. Please reply to the list. Silence will be
interpreted as "sure, fine, go ahead"!
Dave

Hey Dave. I think that's a pretty good idea. I just requested that the
mandatory tag slot be filled with a "fixme" tag in case you get a super lazy
host.
Just thinking of my lazy self here.
