Well, stackoverflow.com is just one example - often times blogs will have a similar tagging system even when there are not a huge range of tags like in stackoverflow.

The part that's good about a tag system is that it allows a main UI that is a linear stream of content, but then gives some organization / filtering available as an option when you want to search and browse older stuff.

That's instead of trying to rigidly separate and impose categories on the discussion from the very top level.

Yeah, I should do a better job of linking things on the wiki.

Sometimes though an answer may be very particularly tailored for the specific project that the person is asking about.
