thank you very much for the positive feedback, so anything besides the map could be done by ourselves 😃 but we have to code a bit to customize the theme the way we like.

To get an idea of the roadmap getting this done, can you confirm, correct, extend or answer the following

1. ❓ ensure that we can create endless (only limited by page size) tag dropdowns, with selection on tags based on its previous dropdown.  
@angus, can you confirm that is possible in principle?
2. ❓ can category and tag search merged as asked in 2. in the last (third) list.
3. 🏭 establish a tag hierarchy comparable to what is shown in the OP. This is the very fundamental, without that, this project is doomed.
4. 🏭 introduce auto-tagging
  1. ❓ ▶ 🏭 can this only be done by a plugin as indicated in [Topic auto tagging](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-auto-tagging/54894/15)  
➡ see [Tags: category restrictions, tag groups, relationships](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-category-restrictions-tag-groups-relationships/48260/26)

5. 🏭 implementing the enhanced [Locations Plugin 🌍 - #429](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742/429) 🤩

That is currently unlikely as our community is about to make its very first step and revenue will be on a very low level, moreover we are non-profit.
