Aleksey,

It isn't clear to me what a "cloud of tags" is.  Is there a familiar 
application that does something like this?

I understand that users can tag things to suit themselves, but still I'd 
want to impose some kind of structure on the views.  When I started 
visiting libraries they had card catalogs for Author, Title, and 
Subject.  It was a good system, and every library used it.  You could 
create a lot of other indexes but they wouldn't get much use.  In the 
Calibre screenshot we had File Size, Publisher, Date, Series, and I 
could easily do without any of them.

Considering that most users of Sugar are going to be children enforcing 
a minimum structure couldn't hurt.
