Re: Anyone working on a Product to support "Tags"

Just an update - we (mostly Anders) have been working on a general 
purpose tagging engine engine, with a RESTful+json interface, and a 
corresponding pure-js client (using Mochikit) to access it.

http://tasty.python-hosting.com/

The tasty service has been implemented on turbogears (originally just 
cherrypy and sqlobject), which is fine for us, but probably not for the 
larger plone community.

Alot of the hard work here has been the development of the api, and the 
js client impl.  I am hopeful that the service can be ported to an 
alternate backend (Five/z3?) fairly easily, but could use some 
suggestions on how to approach that problem.

A robust tagging solution is actually a bit more interesting than it 
might seem, if you consider suggested terms, related terms, 
auto-complete, tag cloud math, etc etc.

Let me know if you are interested in this.

Best,
/jsb
