Ah yes, sub-topics, that seems to work very well. Like this:
Community Art (keywords "music", "video", "interactive", "performance", "art") Sound/Music (keywords "track" or whatever) Video (keywords "video") Interactive (keywords "interactive") Performance (keywords "performance")
I just threw in Performance for the hell of it. But I am trying to resist creating a keyword explosion.
Maybe we don't need subtopics here: The main overview page could just stay a 'static' page with links to the Topic-subfolders with the pieces.
We're just one level deep and I don't see the need to dig deeper. Well, maybe later.
The Keyword doesn't necessarily have to be visible on the Topic. So if someone doesn't like his music to be labeled "track", he shouldn't have to care because we could just change the Topic's name (currently "Tracks with Pd" to reflect our consensus. But the Keyword could still stay "Track".
I don't think, that "music" is a good keyword for a track or a piece. A "piece" also could be a patch or a graphic. Maybe we could call it "musicfile"?
We also could use more verbose Keywords like: "Community:Music" (I think, this works, iem.at seems to be down currently, so it's untested, at least "Community_Music" should work) This way, we would have the general words like "music" or "track" free for other uses. \
The "Community_music" thing seems to work well. It makes it explicit where that file is going to show up.
We could break it down by sound/video/interactive. That seems to cover everything pd pretty well. But sound might be to vague. There is no easy answer....
