I've been looking at the debtags editor recently with the idea of clarifying
the tags for various multimedia applications. I assume this is the
appropriate tool to use?
I'm slightly confused as to why the tags specific to A/DeMuDi appear in the
'section' section rather than 'sound'. We can encourage the users to
contribute to this as well as providing useful bug-reports, via the a-users
mailing list.
We need to ensure that non-DeMuDi specific issues in the DeMuDi issue tracker
have appropriate reports in Debian's BTS. Is there a way of doing this that
would avoid filing mass bug reports?
The debtags system is a little obtuse for ordinary users, is that a desirable
filter? i.e. only those who can be bothered to try and understand it need
apply.
A little guidance could go a long way here.
