 <h3>Resource tagging</h3>
 <img class="right" src="images/2.8-resource-tagging.png" alt="Resource tagging screenshot" />
 <p>
   It is now possible to tag GIMP resources such as brushes and
-  patterns. The tagging is performed from the respective dockables
-  e.g. the Brushes dockable, and it is possible to filter resources
-  based on these tags. The tags are saved to an XML file, external to
-  the data files themselves. This feature finally enables grouping of
-  resources and the plan is to add a bigger set of default resources
-  for GIMP 2.8. It is possible to tag multiple resources
-  simultaneously in the UI. There are still work that needs to be done
-  here, for example providing a set of default brushes. This feature
-  was developed during Google Summer of Code 2008. <b>Developer:</b>
