Tag suggestions #20

Open caseywstark opened 14 years ago

caseywstark commented 14 years ago

We need to have some system for limiting which tags users add to objects.

I think they should be allowed to make new tags, but we don't want separate tag objects for the similar things like 'modern algebra' and 'abstract algebra'. Maybe we can just use ajax_selects?

I don't think we should prevent users in any way from creating new tags.

Instead, I think we should encourage them to use tags that have already been applied. Is there an easy way to integrate "suggested tags" that are similar to what the user types? I'm talking about something a little more general than auto-complete, as a simple auto-complete wouldn't catch something like the similarity between 'modern algebra' and 'abstract algebra.'

Autocomplete would catch that. It does a search, not a starts with.
