3 Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Support for tag clouds
5 The "Content tags" (nothing to do with usual Git tags!) are free-form
6 strings that are attached to random projects and displayed in the
7 well-known Web2.0-ish tag cloud above project list.
9 The feature will make use of HTML::TagCloud if available, but will
10 still display (less pretty) list of tags in case the module is not
13 The tagging itself is not done by gitweb - user-provided external
14 helper CGI needs to be provided; one example is the tagproj.cgi
15 of Girocco. This functionality might get integrated to gitweb
18 The tags are stored one-per-file in ctags/ subdirectory. The reason
19 they are not stored in the project config file is that you usually
20 want to give anyone (even CGI scripts) permission to create new tags
21 and they are non-essential information, and thus you would make
22 the ctags/ subdirectory world-writable.
