This is something I really wished for several years ago, I'm glad to see it's finally happening! One thing though: why call it 'Terms' on the remix pages instead of 'Tags'? The first time I saw it I thought of Terms of Use ("I thought OCR used creative commons?").

Well, the full answer is kind of technical:

  • Internally we have a taxonomy table in our database called "terms"
  • Because it is hierarchical, it is possible for two terms with the same name to exist at different levels of the tree, which means their name cannot be guaranteed unique, which would make true use as "tags" problematic because of the potential ambiguity.
  • We also wanted to avoid the impression that we have an OPEN tagging system, where in fact we are using a very controlled vocabulary.
  • Nevertheless, if no one understands "terms" or has the same confusion you did, we should probably just use "tags" since it's more intuitive & common... @DarkeSword, @Liontamer - thoughts?

NP with that change.

This idea increase a lot the visibility on a remix page !

Will it be possible, in the end, to make a research by tag (as is it yet possible by game, artist...)?

Maybe it would be also interesting to give possibility on a remix page to click on a tag to get to a list of similary remix.

I don't know how it would be complex technically to develop this ; but it could be interesting :)
