  Dear energy group members:
  
  It's starting to take more time to maintain the tag could of this group, and increasingly, synonym or rogue tags are slipping in. So therefore, you help please!
  - tag with distinctive keywords
  - tags in small letters (canada and not Canada)
  - tags in plural where applicable (e.g. photovoltaics and not photovoltaic)
  
  Thanks,
  Hans

  As we're developing this library, a few more points.
  
  Tags can be used to group items in the library. It allows to build lists on countries, technologies, ... This however only works if applied consistently.
  
  For location-specific bookmarks, use the country as a tag (e.g. egypt, canada, ...). Avoid using the municipality or prefecture as a tag, as we're unlikely to accumulate more then few bookmarks for such specific tags.
  
  Next to location, add technology-specific tags (e.g. photovoltaics, appliances, efficiency, ...) or policy related (feed-in, incentives, targets, ...).
  
  For major OEMs (bmw, abb, ...), it's OK to add them as a tag. The same goes for major project (desertec, masdar, ...).

  As I'm cleaning up tags, a few points in addition:
  - avoid meaningless tags. E.g. energy, as this is an energy group. Or green - what does that mean?
  - tags in plural please. We've started this way and should continue.
  - no capitals, even for country names.
  - check the tag dictionary for this group once in a while to find the proper tag. I'll moderate but your help is welcome.
  - use many tags, as long as they are relevant and consistent with the tag dictionary for this group. But do not just paste titles or whole paragraphs in the tag box.
  - tags should be in English, even for bookmarks in other languages.
  - not "energy efficiency", "energy security", "energy scavenging" etc but efficiency, security, scavenging, etc
