New Expert activity tracking tag to be "experts"

[SmokyBob]

Because people want to use/are using the #gde tag for non-activity-related posts check for the #gdetrack tag instead

[Scarygami]

We just have to be careful when updating the gplus tasks that we keep updating data on old activities that only have the #gde tag, and don't skip them because they don't have the #gdetrack tag.

We should probably look at harvesting posts with both tags for the time being with a sunset schedule for the #gde tag, and monitor new tasks being added to confirm that the message is indeed heard by the users. One month seems like a long enough timeframe for this.

The new tag is to be "#experts" and have 4 categories

gde

marketing

ProductStrategy

UX/UI

So getting a post tracked properly will need to have the program tag, the category tag, the product group and the activity type. In combination with #3 where we define some new tag for #gde and other categories.

[Scarygami]

ux/ui won't work as tag on Google+ (and probably other social media platforms).

It would create <a href="...">#ux</a>/ui in the content which would be difficult to read by the app.

Possible options:

ux

ux_ui

uxui (weird...)

+1 for #ux_ui

Until further notice we are going to harvest both #experts and #gde. When we need to cut out #gde from harvesting (if the tag does not die from natural causes) we will be able to implement a simple function to determine if the existing post have #gde and are considered in the update process.

The other four categories are implemented in the staging environment and await a concerted decision to push it to the current API so we can start tracking ... which I think could be now.
