Great work! I love tags, and I’d just like to repeat some of my suggestions:

- Ability to require a tag per section (as stated in the blog this is coming!)
- Ability to add info per tag, such as a short description and a link (this would show on mouse over, as well as on the tag view page)

These would be nice to have:

- A redesigned tags [homepage](https://meta.discourse.org/tags) (currently very unappealing, would like to see it more useful/informative like the [categories](https://meta.discourse.org/categories) homepage)
- Ability to give tags different colours (not as important but could be nice for some communities)

With this in place I can see tags becoming a huge part of how people use Discourse 😃
