[Developers] Freebase Suggested Metatagging

[Jason Douglas]

I think it's a great idea!  There had been some discussion on the list  
in August about that idea, but that was before the freebase-suggest  
library existed:

Sean Simister prototyped something:
	http://lists.freebase.com/pipermail/developers/2007-August/000561.html

and that led to some brainstorming:
	http://lists.freebase.com/pipermail/developers/2007-August/000566.html
	http://lists.freebase.com/pipermail/developers/2007-August/000569.html

In fact, that discussion was one of the inspirations for us to package  
up free-base suggest, so now that it exists I'd love to see somebody  
make it happen...
