This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
Have you seen questions or tags very close to each other, but not quite duplicates? In this wiki we sort these out together. Add an answer to start a new discussion.
1. Sorting of closely related questions (why is this important?)
- (link new answer here) To your answer, please include a numbered list of related questions as url links
- several Facebook API change related questions
- related discussions: TOH developer kit, custom ambiences, Store connection
- N9 glance screen related questions
- Ambience color related questions
- GPS related questions
- MicroSD / exFAT related questions
2. To achieve a meaningful, clear, intuitive and shared notion of set of tags
- (link new answer here) To your answer, please include all closely related tags to be discussed

4. Code-of-conduct! Before merging duplicates / changing existing tags:
- Suggestions (formatted as "Answer") should be listed here for at least 2 working days to see what comments they get.
- Thereafter, answers should be revised according to the result of the comments, for example, making it clear that a certain set of tags should not be merged and stating the reason.
- Wait another working day before you start editing tags and check what the discussion is. If previously there has been a lot of different ideas and comments, you may even ask that a moderator gives the go-ahead.
- Report all retagging with a comment, so that moderators can cleanup the back-end (otherwise unused tags are shown in the list of choises when tagging a question)
@jgr I edited that part to be not so normative: "If you run into a question that can't actually be answered at all, or is a simple How-to or Poll / Survey consider commenting that to the writer and/or convert the question to a wiki (edit -> mark with "community wiki")"
Is it better now?
foss4ever ( 2014-01-20 12:38:03 +0300 )editI propose to introduce the concept of sticky topics centralizing news / main ideas and so on. A meta-topic could be created to gather sitcky topics title. Yesterday, I was suggested to use tags, but it's not efficient. I think sticky topics could be good to reduce the number of "duplicate topics".
TNZ ( 2014-01-21 10:44:09 +0300 )edit@TNZ Who selects sticky topics, and by what criteria? And where are they shown?
foss4ever ( 2014-01-21 11:01:12 +0300 )edit@jjaone : The main idea is to have a cleaner area. I think that guys who spend a lot of time here are the best (like admins & moderators) to manage sticky topics and the meta-topic.
Maybe, a specific site section giving news about activity here could help instead of maintening sticky-topics.
TNZ ( 2014-01-21 11:12:20 +0300 )edit@TNZ A Dashboard giving a quick overview of what is happening in here, hot topis, latest questions, answer, comments, whos on line, top 10 roadmapped and / or closed questions, etc etc..with selectable sticky topics, news, howtos, guides + a link section to related Jolla & developnent spesific sites like Care, Store, blogs and community portals..
