A little feature suggestion to the future version of Koha OPAC: While ago I read a book called The Power to Name by Hope A. Olson. In the book Olson proposes an user contributed classification system in library catalogue as a way to empower people. She critizises the bias found in subject representation found in library catalogues and makes a skectch of a system where users (like the customers of library) are able to make connections between books and add their own subject headings. And look what we have today - The Library Thing (www.librarything.com) - an online service which enables users to catalogue their own books and add metadata, like tags, to the books, like in del.icio.us or in flickr. Just like Olson imagined. I think that we should add the tagging feature to Koha as soon as possible. Then Koha could be the first tagging-enabled ILS and the publicity would be huge - great PR to the project and to the open source movement overall. There's an open source tagging module Freetag written in PHP (http://www.freetag.org/) . It could serve as a starting point.
