Re: [Fwd: Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC T-Shirts]



Hi,

You mentioned that the GNU tag isn't in the cloud tag because it isn't in use. There isn't any talk about free software or about free licences, probably because is taken for granted. However, I think that if GNOME is part of GNU, then any talk about GNOME, its  components,  its road map  or whatever should be tagged as GNU.

just my opinion,

I have been adding the (very few) terms that were requested (at the very
beginning), and nobody had requested "accessibility" before.

I've just added the term and assigned to the 2 talks that are obviously
related to accessibility: http://guadec.org/taxonomy/term/129 . If you
now more please send URL.

With only 2 mentions a tag doesn't reach the cloud, this is why i.e.
Solaris isn't there either.

Again, the decision here is whether we want to retouch this cloud or
not. My opinion last week when we discussed this was to leave it
untouched. Murray mentioned the (real) risk of people doing a bad usage
of this feature to promote terms but afaik we haven't found a single
misbehavior. It is true that some people tag a lot and some tag just a
couple of terms or none. But hey, this happens in Flickr as well, it's a
'problem' intrinsically related to tag clouds. 

Like in real pictures, you can retouch the cloud to "improve" what was a
non-predetermined result or you can leave the result as it was, and then
think about why this picture is not meeting your expectations.

Retouch or not retouch, both are valid alternatives. This is only a tag
cloud, not the GNOME Bible. These tags don't even refer to the talks
schedules, but all the sessions submitted. The tag reflects the terms
selected by people from a collection of tags available, nothing else.
The Maemo or the Mono tags are big just because this year many people
decided that the content they had submitted had a relation with such
terms. Instead, only 2 people seem to have published content related to
accessibility or Solaris, and not even they claimed that. Tag clouds
promote the majorities and also the big minorities, but wipes out the
small minorities. Now we see the effects.

I have nothing else to say about this cloud and I'm nobody to add or
take out tags.  :)  If you think new terms should be added just decide
that and we'll add them.

Also, a11y or accessibility aren't in the list of tags at the moment (Quim, I
guess they weren't requested?)

People who have submitted a11y related content could tune up the keyword by
tagging their articles with the tag, once it's added.
