You can do the same thing with my code - a search for a specific text value will return Tags for different types of objects - the 'TagTarget' object and related methods address that specific need. One of the things that motivated my design was the ability to store creation dates - i.e. you can see exactly when you (or anyone else) tagged a specific item with a specific bit of text. Ian's solution goes further, and has various models, including a 'Bookmark' that allows more information to be stored, and other models that store summary information. I think the problem here is analagous to the multiplicity of Python web frameworks - Python/Django makes it so easy! I've chatted with Ian a bit, and while our different approaches cover the same ground, there are reasons I couldn't use his without modification and vice-versa. Perhaps we should set up some pages doing comparisons of the different approaches, including code that can be downloaded. If a clear 'winner' drops out i.e. a solution that will fit a lot of people, it could be suggested that it is put into contrib in Django. But there's no guarantee that will happen in any case, so it would be good to have somewhere central where people can compare and make use of this code. I'll try to tidy something up and release it tonight. It's got a reasonably amount of code doc, and I'll try to add some examples.
