Add possibility to filter ROS1 and ROS2 questions / cross-check ROS version and distro #176

Open mgruhler opened 6 years ago

mgruhler commented 6 years ago

I'd like to propose adding some way to filter that only ROS1 or ROS2 questions are shown. I'm not quite sure how to do this, but what I imagine could work would be something along the lines of

  1. add another required tag ROS1/ROS2 (the other one is the distro)
  2. automatically add ROS1/ROS2 tag derived from ROS distro (not sure, if this is doable) and don't allow to add this manually

If 1 is chosen, ideally, it should be cross-checked that the ROS version and distro fit together

Then, one could either use the tag filter to quickly get the interesting questions, or, even more convenient, would be a button to toggle this.

Reasoning:

I've only been using ROS1 and thus only like to answer ROS1 answers. I've missed the respective tags sometimes, especially if there is a combination like kinetic/ROS2 as e.g. here. Even though many of the answers might actually work for both, I'm not sure and thus don't want to confuse people...
