GSOC Tags

[Jasvir Singh]

I am searching django on list on organisations in GSOC 2013 and
when I typed "django" in tags it shows a list of organisation but
Django Software Foundation was none of them. Later I found that
there are no tags for Django in "Django Software Foundation". The
only way to search Django Software Foundation is by name.

When I move towards GSOC 2012, same scene was there.
But in GSOC 2011, some tags were there.
In GSOC 2010, tags were but django is none of them.
In 2009, again there were no tag.

Don't you think that if someone just search by tag(easiest way to
search), not by name then he/she will be misguided?
As they will not be able to find Django Software Foundation.
I don't know whether it is common or not. But I found it strange.

Hi Jasvir,

Frankly -- if something like this has happened, it's because Melange (the software Google uses to run GSoC) is a complete mess. The fact that a Melange search for "Django" doesn't return "Django Software Foundation" is in no way surprising if you've spent any time actually using Melange.

We certainly haven't done anything strategically to avoid tagging the project. I didn't set up our project in Melange - Andrew Godwin has done this for the last few years - but I can't imagine he would have avoided putting "django", "python", "web" or any other useful tags if given the opportunity.

As an aside - I'm intrigued where you've found this "search by tag" functionality, because it isn't something I've seen in the Melange interface.

Yours,

Russ Magee %-)

Tags are added by Google or by organisations?

When we list all organisation of any particular year, we have two search fields
there. One is "Name" field and other is "Tags" feild. You can check it in following
