Allow categorization of suggestions

It will be nice to organize the suggestions either using something lightweight like tags or something like categories created by an admin.

  1. I agree! Often you'll end up with 2 suggestions that are RELATED (but not DUPLICATES) and it would be nice if they could be grouped together.
    I personally think categories (choose from list created by admin) and tags are distinct enough features that we could have BOTH of them, but I'd probly be most excited about TAGS, because tags let you add MULTIPLE tags and let the average user have more say.

  2. I'm imagining a user interface something like del.icio.us or SlimTimer, where users could click on an existing tag to vote it up (/ add those tags for themselves), or could type to add new tags...

    It might be a bit overkill (hope not), but it sure would be cool! :)

    Also, list all possibly RELATED suggestions in the right column based on like tags...?

  3. I would need categories to separate bug fixes, new feature request, new content...

  4. vimeo allows others to add tags and shows the number of people who have tagged each specific tag: http://www.vimeo.com/1013263

  5. YES!! Social Tagging is key. The long tail of those who enjoy this type of thing will greatly enhance an implementation for the light lurkers if you let them. I am less hot on pre-set categories, but I think there is a place for those as well so that the admin can establish some buckets. Create a tag cloud for navigation!!!
