I agree with Chip that one tag would be better for end users.
However, I also think we need to propose multiple tags to whoever is
in charge of this. So, having a list of potential tags with their
definitions is what we should put together.<br>
<br>
On that note, I've never had a user ask for an "adaptive" theme.
It's mostly "responsive." But, "mobile-ready" and "mobile-first"
are terms that are also thrown around a bit.<br>
<br>
Also, I dislike the phrase "fluid grid system" when referring to
responsive design. Maybe something along the lines of "a fluid
layout that responds to screen size." Anyway, I'm just nit-picking
words here.<br>

tags being added. Everyone agrees we need to be able to filter
search results based on tags and the current set of tags doesn't
do it.

<div>What does it hurt to create a list of tag and definitions
that the theme review team thinks would be useful and we could
review fairly?
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>I think it would be better if we brainstormed a list
without any premptive doomsaying, so I can take it back to the
THX38 meeting as the theme review teams ideas on new tags,
instead of just <span></span>bringing own ideas.<br>

<div>IMHO, the tag list could probably stand for a bit of

what's the tangible difference

<div>@Ulrich We can't

will most likely
happening. I'm hoping
to go to the next
