Would you mind writing a short sentence that summarize the rules for an ideal tag? I could add them into http://plugins.qgis.org website and maybe they can also be added to the plugin builder. For Bing and Google, technically speaking they aren't WMS, more like TMS. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
Re: [Qgis-developer] Better tags for plugins
I took a look through the list and if you wany to make a consistent set of tags to use then the list will need to be short and obvious.In this light I would make the following suggestions: 1. The is comprised of items that could be used to make components of larger items. If there is a desire to make the list standard but not be a prescriptive as categories individual tags could be used to describe more complex tasks. For example right now there is: attribute attribute edit attribute table These could be replaced by attribute, edit, and table and combined with other things to keep the list short 2. There isn't a consistent time tense in the terms, for example geocoding and print. Using geocode and print would be more consistent 3. bing and google are listed, perhaps a use of wms would be sufficient 4.Some items are plural and other singular. Again it would be more consistent for all tags to be singular if possible There may be other was the list can be shortened even further but those are my thoughts for now.

Agreed, but this is the (free) nature of tag based classification vs category based classification, if we want a defined set of tags, we should turn them into categories (multiple choice, of course). -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
