There are three overlapping environment-related tags: environment, work-environment, and physical-environment, none of which are defined, plus desktop-environments, which does not overlap. I did some cleanup in the environment tag and the usages of the three tags now look mainly like this:
- system-related interaction (infrastructure rather than applications/desktop-environment)
- development environment
- virtual environment
- isolated software installation
- workflow and software tools
- computer setup
- surrounding physical environment related to computer setup
- computer setup
- surrounding physical environment related to computer setup
- environmental factors affecting hardware performance
These might logically be grouped like this:
- Virtual environment: use the numerous existing tags relating to this
- Workflow and software tools: Use the existing application tags or create as needed
New (or renamed from environment) tag: operating-environment or computing-environment:
- system-related interaction
- development environment
- isolated software installation
- computer setup
- surrounding physical environment related to the user or computer setup
- environmental factors affecting hardware performance (temperature, power, wireless transmission obstacles, weather, etc.)
Recommendation: Rename the environment tag or delete it and create a new system-related one. Create definitions for the three tags. Retag as needed to move questions to the appropriate tag. Suggestions for terminology or wiki excerpt wording are welcomed.
