Ability to tag patterns to help organize / create custom pathways

[claredillon]

I was wondering if there might be a way to add tags to the patterns we have created, to enable the following:

• Automatically find patterns related to a creating challenge (e.g. discoverability, or convincing management) for particular guides/ articles/chapters
• Ideally, in such a scenario, patterns might have multiple tags e.g. be under discoverability and also "suitable for large orgs" as an example.

Thank you for sharing this idea @claredillon.

Would you mostly use this for patterns that have been already published in our book?

For those you at least have the search function, which gives you a URL that you can use to link to multiple patterns that contain a certain keyword. e.g. here all patterns containing the word "reuse":
https://patterns.innersourcecommons.org/?q=reuse

However I know that this is not quite the same as real "tags", as the method above finds any pattern that contains the given word anywhere in the text, so might leads to "false positives" fairly easy.

Also it would not work for any Initial patterns (drafts). However I would recommend to not link to those anyways, as they are not very stable and can change (or even disappear) at any time.

Can you share some examples of tags that you would use? That might illustrate what you are after.
