You dont have to know all the possible uses of your game. You have to know that it is a game, maybe that it is an arcade-style game. If some people happen to find that this game is appropriate for kids, then they could submit a wishlist bug on your package asking you to add that tag. They'll provide the rationale that kids are using this game to learn to type or something and you'll say, 'huh, I never realized how this game was educational and suitable for kids' and then you add the tag to the package for the next upload. This is the beauty of this method, you do not have to be all-knowing, you can make a package-maintainer's educated guess about the appropriate tags for your package, and then others will provide you the corrections, additions, removals. You then harness the brain-power of your user-base for "knowing" these things. micah
