Motivation
Tagging has proven to be a preferred way to let users self-organize content. Unlike a top-down taxonomy, tagging allows for a bottoms up user-contributed
approach which is more organic and agile.
Since a community site needs to adapt and grow with the needs of its users, we should allow the users to tag the content on the site, not only their own content, bug the content that others have contributed.
Proposal
Use lovely.tag to make it possible to tag audio, video and photos with keywords. Also check out their REST tagging web service.
Should have an interface similar to del.icio.us, whereby it suggests tags that others have already used. Look at topicwidget for some ajax code that implements this functionality.
Provide a tag cloud so that users can browse by popular tags.
Also look at Plone Solution's image repository which supports tagging of images, and Whit's tagger, which uses RDF.
