Hi all,

I'm Ken Krugler, founder of Krugle - a search engine for programmers.

Below is an updated version of my introductory post on the priorart-discuss mailing list.

----

Krugle is a search engine for code and technical content. Millions 
technically oriented web pages, plus source code from repositories, 
and 50K+ project descriptions linked to code.

Right now tags (notes) are free-form. They have a name, a note, and then 
either a line number range in a file, or an entire file/page.

I've been thinking about more structured tags. One level is just 
"what kind of tag is it", as in question, comment, bug, description, 
etc. This seems more in line with what you describe above.

For very structured at the project level, there's DOAP (I had a short 
blog about it at [[http://www.krugle.net/wordpress/?p=38|http://www.krugle.net/wordpress/?p=38]]) for 
describing software projects.

But there's this trade-off between structure and easy of use. The 
more structured we try to make it, the less tags I think will get 
created. And the trend w/sites like del.icio.us et. al. is to go very 
unstructured.
