About Tagos
Tagos is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Come to think of it, it's probably better. After all, sliced bread is fairly underwhelming stuff. Unlike Tagos. That's right: Tagos is better than sliced bread. But why is that, you ask? What makes Tagos that great?
The secret is our special development process. Every line of code has been left to rest for 8 hours after writing, giving it time to adjust to its surroundings. When we come back, it's all settled in, and we can begin work on the next line. The result: the greatest web application ever.
So, give Tagos a go. You won't be disappointed†.

Technical
Tagos is programmed in PHP by Dashiell Dunn. It also uses John Gruber's Markdown formatting for items—specfically, Michel Fortin's PHP Markdown Extra implementation, and John Gruber's SmartyPants punctuation formatting tool—specfically, Michel Fortin's PHP SmartyPants implementation.
Changelog
- 8 July 2006 (2006-07-07)
- Converted almost all public item links to be name-based (no functional difference).
- Added certification system for items. Moderators or an item's original author can certify an edition of an article, putting that in a protected area, in case the main, editable version of the item gets vandalised (or otherwise edited in a way that loses wanted information).
- Big time under-the-bonnet changes, for easier programming and maintenance.
- 7 July 2006 (2006-07-07)
- Added interim history function. I'll do a proper one very soon.
- 5 July 2006 (2006-07-05)
- Fixed a typo, fixed a link, removed HTML stripping (which was causing some problems with Markdown).
- 4 July 2006 (2006-07-04)
- Tagos now uses John Gruber's Markdown formatting for items—specfically, Michel Fortin's PHP Markdown Extra implementation. Head over to its Tagos information page to learn more about its syntax.
- Items can now be referenced by ID or by name. This means we'll have more logical links and can no longer have duplicate item names.
- Added categories. Not sure how exactly it's going to work out (whether it will be restricted to a list or if it'll be open like tags). We'll see.
- Now also using John Gruber's SmartyPants punctuation formatting tool—specfically, Michel Fortin's PHP SmartyPants implementation. It's a neat little tool that intelligently fixes up straight and backticks quotes, dashes, and ellipses. It also has the best logo ever (check out the website). Man, I love those pants.
