Dear Sam, Thank you for your time and generosity in responding to my questions. I have been in the field of online education and discourse for over 30 years, and I have seen and used many systems. I am not a techie but an educator and researcher of online discourse, so I apologize for my simplisitic questions. I want to congratulate you as co-founder of this software, because in my 3 decades of work in this field, DIscourse is coming back to the key principles of online discussion and supporting key features for productive and progressive discussion and effective collaboration. I plan to devote more time to get to know your system, and to assess it for educational application. I think it could really be a winner. Two last questions for now: 1. how does tagging work? Can there be a set of tags, which could be applied to each post in a topic (or conference—I don’t know yet which terms you use). A tag as a pre-set annotation, and/or a tag as an open annotation? If so, are such tags visible to the group? 2. Is it easy to download parts of the forum? To a printer? to download just the tags, for example into a word or excel document? I invite you to read my next message, responding to Jay…in which my educational focus is more clearly set out. Thank you, Cordially, Linda --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/questions-regarding-discourse-features/86015)._
