Thanks Kristina,
I'm working on a research proposal with colleagues around using Mahara with standards frameworks, tagging of evidence, reporting, etc. I'll provide more detail a bit later on, but we have thought of CatalystNZ being a partner. Our project would seek funding and some of that would go toward mahara development. I'd like to give more detail as we have an exciting idea, but will have to wait till we have something on paper fully.
Cheers,
Shane.

Shane's comment refers to bug #1208313.

Hi Shane,

Thanks also for this wishlist item. While we we investigating the
possibility to add one page to multiple collections and making a page
available without sharing the entire collection for Mahara 1.8, we
realized that these two scenarios are extremely difficult, and that it
would be better to take a fresh look at the entire collections feature
and go back to the drawing board / rethink multi-page views. Therefore,
there won't be changes to collections in that regard for 1.8.

I'll tag this item "collections" so we can find again when we get the
chance to rethink this feature.

Cheers
Kristina


** Summary changed:

Title:
  Creating page collections from tags

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Mahara 1.7+

  The process of creating and managing collection of pages is somewhat
  complicated - and puts limits on real world requirements by the fact
  that pages can only be added to one collection.

  Could the collection system be extended to allow the creation of
  collections based on one or more tags?

  We can already add tags to pages so we are half way along this path.
  The ability to create a collection tagged with "Professional
  Development Activity" and "Professional Development and Review" and
  "2013" would be very powerful - especially since any other pages I
  create and tag in this way will "just appear" in that collection
  without any further action.

  The ability to re-order would be important, in fact the existing
  collection workflow could remain largely unchanged - it's just that
  there would be an alternative to individually adding pages called "Add
  pages by tag". The user may have to come back to this screen to re-
  order pages that are added over time.

  Cheers.
  Shane.
