Hello,
I'd like to make here a proposition about tagging (I know, it's not an important focus right now, but I'd like to see what other people think of it). I'd like to propose boolean tagging, just as already mentioned in
this post (it's the fourth proposition).
Basically, I'm talking about the possibility to tag a task that way:
(tag1 OR tag2) AND tag3
and to do the same for filtering (probably with a smart folder).
Some Examples:
-- For Filtering: --
I got two important tags: "personal" and "work", because I try to keep my private and work life separated. Then I got "phone" and "office" for example. So I would like the ability to filter using this expression :
work AND ( phone OR office )
-- For tagging: --
I want to buy a shelve, but my girlfriend has to be with me or I need my phone to make a picture of it. So, I'd like to tag it:
(errands OR online) AND (girlfriend OR phone)
A very important aspect of this tagging system is that it doesn't complicate the tagging system. If you don't need the OR and AND operands, you don't see them.
And I think, even if it *looks* complicated, that it is the most simple tagging I know, because it just works. All other systems cause eternal discussion about hierarchies, flat structures, duplicates, etc.
What do you think of this system?
