Project tagging inteface
Projects can be tagged with keywords to aid users in finding your project.
XPI files in /download directories are automatically scanned and assigned tags based on information in install.rdf files, but this information is limited to supported applications and other general information (more information).

Recommended tags include whether your project is an application, theme, or extension; the name of the application it works with without the version (eg, "Firefox", but not "Firefox 1.5"), and a descriptive word or category.

New tags will go through an approval process and will show up once approved.

Only active projects will show up in the project tag list.

Tag Approval Policy

Mozdev tries to approve only tags that are relevant or could be relevant to multiple projects and tags whose meaning/value do not change over time.

For example, the tag "Firefox" is useful, while "Firefox v1.5" is not as it includes a version which your project might not support in the future.

A tag like "Miscellaneous", "Misc", or "changes things" is not useful as they don't describe what your extension does; the purpose of tagging is to associate specific qualities/features with your project.
