Tag Clouds for Resources
------------------------

Perhaps a Cloud of Tags is unnecessary, but tagging resources similar to
Youtube or like Tag Clouds allows for efficient searching and filtering. Anyone
who uses the web would know how to use them. If a ``Cloud of Tags'' approach is
used, then organizing the tags by some sort of frequency would be useful:
the more often a given tag is used, the larger it gets (or perhaps the more often
that tag is searched and referred).



.Pros
* Simple GUI Concept
* Eases management of resources with Search
* Orthogonal to other resource management schemes like Folders



Comments

Note: I was inspired with this idea during an email conversation with _Rick777_.

Agreed, this is useful. Furthermore, advanced config rules can make use of
such tags and wiring can depend on them, for example to route your dialogue
audio to another global bus than the music or ambiance.

To confirm this point: tagged assets are considered important and kept on the main agenda

Conclusion
----------

This Design Proposal is _superseded_ by a much more advanced proposal:
