Hello,<br><br>I have started working on adding the feature of "Search able tags" to Sugar. This will allow <br>the users to tag them self or any else in the network. These tag will be generalized tags. Users<br> will have the option to search for users having a particular tag. Say for example I tag my self<br>
as : "I love python". Then if a user in the network searches for "python", the result will show <br>me. Here are some of the use cases (contributed by tomeu):<br><b><br>Use case 1</b>: Finding people with similar interests:<br>
Pepe enjoyed during the weekend his first rock climbing experience and would like to find other <br>people in his school who also like it.<br><b><br>Use case 2</b>: Limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally:<br>Maria is a teacher and would like that during her classes, only her students in that class appear in<br>
the mesh view.<br><br><b>Proposed user experience</b><br><br><b>Use case 1</b>: finding people with similar interests:<br>Pepe tags itself as climbing, and when someone searches in the mesh view for "climbing", Pepe will<br>
appear in the results.<br><b><br>Use case 2</b>: limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally:<br>Maria tags each of the students in that class with the tag "my_class", so that when searches in the <br>mesh view for that text, only her students appear. In the case that someone else has tagged himself <br>
with that same tag, it will appear as well in the results, but will be marked differently as the local matches.<br><br> As it can be seen, this feature will be a precursor to add "Groups" to Sugar. I am right now trying to<br>
add these tags to /source/sugar-presence-services/src/buddy.py and try to read these using D-Bus interface.<br><br>Feedback and suggestions are requested. If some one wants to add some new and interesting use case, they<br>
can do it at: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tagging_Proposal">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tagging_Proposal</a> <br> <br>ps: I have ejabberd set up in my system and wanted to know how to use gadget on it. If any one has done some<br>
thing similar, please let me know.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards<br>Kartik Rustagi<br>
