Hi everyone,
Launchpad is really much nicer to use than SF tracker. However, I was wondering about tags: - there is only one kind of tag where there were several in SF. would it be a good idea to set a composite tag hierarchy such as: platform-all platform-linux platform-win32 ... instead of all-platforms linux win32 osx ... This is already somewhat done for ui and object and it would be nice to have an official way of designing such tags and to reduce the current number of tags, or at least the number of first level tags. What would be really nice is if "ui" could match both "ui" and "ui- something" but that's apparently not the case.
- when adding tags to a bug, I could not find a way to get a list of pre-existing tags. It would be very nice to have that, or auto- completion of tags, or a tag could a-la del.icio.us or... ;) Is that possible in Launchpad?

I've spent some time yesterday doing some basic bug triage, and I had realized that this is a quite important feature. Bryce, are you directly in touch with someone there, or should we file a bug? I've searched through the report for «launchpad», but found none.
Cheers, Luca

Yes, there is box on the left side labeled Tags that lists all known tags: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/
Unfortunately, you're right that this list is not easily accessible from the tag editing page. Tags are actually a relatively recent addition (I think added earlier this year). If you have ideas on a better workflow for them, definitely file a bug against launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/
Being able to search on partial tag matches (e.g. "^ui-" or "^platform-") is a good idea, as is tag autocompletion.
The launchpad folks seem to be more responsive with bug reports and feature requests than SF was, however they do have a huge workload so it may take them a while to get to feature requests. But the tag system is getting a lot of discussion internally, so possibly they'll be quite open to usability improvement ideas for it right now.
