Heh, I knew we missed that too.. Normal topic view already offers to show a
tag search area: See here for example:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=15049
You should see a search icon on that tag bar. Also, the forum's index page
already offers a tagcloud (we'll see if we can have it on the brainstorm
page as well). We can maybe also add a "search for tags" options in the
default forum search. I hope this improves the visibility of the page.

Heh, we know that. Apparently, plasma discussions are really popular
here at the forums :-)

Now I really have to give some thought about how to do it. Tags are a
different universe. The board software doesn't support tags.. it is an addon
we did. So apparently, we will need to fuse (join) the existing structure
with the tag structure. But it shouldn't be impossible hopefully.
