That's because there is only one tag for now :)
A tag can be set wiki pages and blog items. The tags page lists all
tags. http://trac-hacks.org/tags is an example of a Trac site with many
tagged wiki pages.

I have given you permissions to post a blog item. You can do so via
http://ports.haiku-files.org/blog. There should be a link "New Post" in
the rop-right.

Keep in mind that any changes you make now will probably not survive the
migration from Assembla, as I cannot simply merge the two Trac
environments. I *might* be able to transfer the blog and portlog data
(but not the wiki pages) though.

For the filename, I suggest: <portname>-<version>-<portrevision>.zip
It's probably also a good idea to agree on one archive format. I guess
it's safest to choose a format that can also store BeFS attributes (only
ZIP?). Should we include 'HaikuPorts' or 'HP' in the filename, perhaps
like: <portname>-<version>-hp<portrevision>.zip ? I do not think this is
necessary. We should include a README in the archive to link to the site
and PortLog entry, though.

I think that would be too small. I have used the red box to create a
favicon.
