[wp-forums] Now Tags

[Michael B]

Perhaps now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, and
suggest again a blitz on the forums regarding tagging posts.  My suggestion
is to find a fairly common time frame that several mods systematically tag
all untagged threads (well, not all, maybe for X number of days, etc) and
while doing so, we can tag threads as FAQ, and possibly do a voting type
plan to mark threads complete while doing it.  As much as a way to assist
new users, as a house keeping type thing.  As Podz stated, I also think Tags
are here to stay, and I find myself using them more and more (both in and
out of the forums).  Why not leverage them to be advantageous to everyone
involved.

I'll start by saying my schedule is fairly open as I'm working from home.
I'm EST which is what, -4 GMT right now?

IM, or some other be a more effective way of communicating during the
blitz.  Any suggestions?
