Maximilian Albert: I'm really surprised that you didn't know that 'cli' stood for 'command line interface'.
So am I. :-)
Exactly, that's why I choose 'cli' because it is really short and well known (at least I've been reading it for ages). The problem with 'command-line' or 'commandline' is that it is too long and I would have too write it entirely every time I want to add that tag, unless it's added to the official tags list. For example, starting typing 'node...' will suggest and autocomplete 'node-editing', which is kinda handy, but this mechanism doesn't kick in for unofficial tags (AFAIK).
Okay, I understand your concerns. On the other hand, what happens if a less experienced user or developer (or someone like me who simply doesn't know the abbreviation) is looking for command-line related bugs but can't find any because neither 'command' nor 'line' appears in any of the bug tags? I seem to remember that a similar thing happened to me a while ago but I don't recall what I was looking for. Anyway, is there a list of all existing tags available on Launchpad, apart from the tag cloud, which doesn't seem to be anywhere near complete (maybe I'm just too stupid to find it)? Perhaps we can also have a list of tags and their meanings on the wiki (or is there one already)? Although it's probably less useful if we can't link to it from Launchpad.
