Currently, there is only the `bindings` tag available when creating new topics.

We could use more tags, that could grouped into categories

- Operating system
  - `linux`
  - `macos`
  - `freebsd`
  - `windows`
  - …

- Binding language
  - `java`,
  - `python`
  - `go`
  - `node.js`
  - `swift`
  - `c#`
  - `malbolge`
  - …

- Versions of the database? Or should this be API versions?
  - `5.1`
  - `5.2`
  - `6.0`
  - …

I don’t know if we need to add prefix for categories, like `os_linux`, `lang_swift` or `ver_5.1`. Maybe this is overkill.

I’d also suggest things like `monitoring`, `operations`, `layer design`, `tooling`.

These topics come up frequently among the people getting into the FoundationDB, so they probably deserve a category.

Great suggestions. Anyone else have input?

Nice.

I think this should be database version rather than API version given that most features (or bugs, but I like to stay positive) will be tracked with the database rather than API version other than, say, “oh, the API works like _this_ starting at database version x.y (well, if you are using API version XY0 or newer)”. But everything else I don’t think should depend on the API version.

I do think that prefixes for categories is probably overkill, unless there are overloaded terms, but I can’t think of any off of the top of my head. (Maybe `golang` instead of `go`?)
