I think we should decide on a name for the project first, though.

I've been referring to this in my head as the AutoJstr.

[Bozack]

I'm definitely up for tagging, if it means I can slack off of schoolwork and just re-read the entire archives again.

Okay, August, Gimpson, and Bozack have been added as group members.  You should all see the new forum down below.

I like AutoJstr, but it's a bit of an in-joke, no?  I'm thinking that this may be useful for fans of Achewood that do not stop here.

I don't see it.  Where should I expect to see this forum?

I thought that might be the case.  Back to the drawing board.

Yeah, "AutoJstr" is a little too inside-jokey. But I like TAG pretty well, so it'll get my vote.

Also, count me in. I'm no programmer, but I can sure as heck throw tags on data.

Dammit, that was my one chance for a claim to fame. I was hoping Jough's system would catch on and become huge. Then people would wonder about the Jstr much like they did the Winamp-llama connection.

I'll definitely tag, but the last time I programmed was PASCAL in '97. And my teacher was all about recursion.

[jough]

Well, maybe we can work AutoJstr into the system somewhere.  But I don't know if it would work as a name for our project.

Maybe the system for searching by tag could be called "AutoJstr."  And of course we wouldn't explain it anywhere.

[jough]

And I think I fixed the problem with group members not seeing the new forum.  It should be accessible to everyone pertinent now.

Last time for me was in BASIC in about '82.  On either a C-64 or a TRS-80.

Top that.

[jough]

Yeah yeah, okay, you're all equally programming retarded.  We get it.

Anyway, Jeffrey Zeldman, web guru extraordinaire, posted something about Tagging today:

http://zeldman.com/daily/0405d.shtml

It's amazing that just a couple weeks ago I was just becoming aware of the possibilities of tagging and now it seems that it's everywhere.  

I will still consider myself an early adopter in this, though, and still think that even if tagging is trendy now it is still very useful.

[Max]

I would like to be in your secret club as a tagger.

[jough]

Okay, bub, you're in.

But you people who want to tag are expected to provide input during the development stage too, as to how something should work, how it would be easier for you to use, etc.

No freeloaders!

[Choop]

Yeah, so I posted in the sticky thread in the other section. I'm a ColdFusion developer/architect by trade, and the pending Adobe buyout of Macromedia has me a little worried. I've been meaning to learn PHP, and this seems like a decent excuse. If you'll have me.

Any chance I can call it a corporate sponsorship and write off the hours I spend? Community service, on-the-job-training, whatever...

[jough]

Yeah, I'm sure we can work something out so you can get a tax break.

[slink]

I'm willing to be part of the group, though like I said, i am not sure how much time I can put into this at the moment. I am setting up a wiki at work to get us off of Exchange, along with making sites for various people, and keeping the server going. And this week is all soundtracking when I'm not at work so....
I may be able to be of use though. If you need Bug Barbecue breaking out, or if I do have some time to throw at it. I'll leave it to you to decide though anyway.
