It would be a pity, if e.g. ubunto starts to add "ubuntu::x11" tags, while skolelinux starts to add "x11::skolelinux" and such things. I heard from this weg ontology thing for the first time last weekend, so I can't comment on that now, but it sounds interesting. > An important thing to also include in a policy is also who is ultimately > responsible for each tag. > > I propose each package maintainer to be ultimately responsible for tags > of the package. > > This is not as controversial it may sound: Package maintainance is also > ultimately the responsibility of each package maintainer (wether > official Debian packages or not), but were overriding package > responsibility recquires repackaging and maintainance of the forked > package, overriding tagging responsibility is much simpler to do. Why the maintainer? Why not those, who know best about their categories / facets / whatever? How should I know, if the small game I maintain is suitable for kids? Has an educational value? I don't have any kids, I just think it's funy to play while siting bored in a train. So let this be done by people, who it better than me.
