Question Initial List of Tags
As far as I can tell, there are no tags yet for the main Q&A. I suggest setting an initial group of tags which help organize questions. Two groups I think would be particularly helpful are languages and topics. For languages, there seem to be a variety of "top n lists", so we can pick one or just...
