When I see the group word applied to packages it's almost always a
single group per package usage.  Having multiple tags per package would
allow the user to narrow their browsing like this:

 tags: games 1000 entries - (action, strategy, cards, boardgame, rpg,
[...]).
 tags: games, strategy - 276 entries (wargame, cards, no others, rpg,
[...])
 tags: games, strategy, cards - 17 entries (no others, wargame)
 Only tags: games, strategy, card - 15 entries ()
 Browse results

font-sized tags are a good idea in this context but not applicable to
the commandline.  Ordering of the possible tags to intersect with by
popularity is an approximation of this.


A tree hierarchy has good qualities compared to the comps groups that we
have now but I think that intersecting tags have most of the advantages
of a more rigid group.

A tree hierarchy + font/ordered tags might make sense for delving through all the pkgs. For example

You see a page like:

Games, Utilities, System, Mail, WebServices, Development, etc

Then you click on Games and it expands out the tags sorted or fonted by most common tag, etc (not including games) in that group. So you create implicit subgroups by going to what you want most.


That should be relatively easy to do, I think.
