Flavio,

I see a number of patches[1] which have been landed on this project but I find 
that at least the ones that were landed for Trove, and a random sampling of 
the others all to be different from what you proposed below[2] in one 
important aspect.

In [2] you proposed a structure where the title of the document; or the first, 
and most prominent heading, would be the existing heading of the document, and 
the tags would be below that. In [2] for example, that was:

"kombu - Messaging library for Python"

and the tags would be in smaller font below that.

What I see in [3] the patch for Trove and the proposed example [4] is:

"Team and repository tags" as the first, and most conspicuous header, and the 
header "Trove" below that.

In some cases the second header is the same font as the "Team and repository 
tags" header.

I think this change (these 124 changes) as proposed are not consistent with 
the proposal you made below, and certainly seem to be less suitable than that 
proposal. The end product for the four trove repositories [4], [5], [6], and 
[7]

I think we should have a discussion on the ML whether we feel that this new 
structure is the appropriate one, and before some projects approve these 
changes and others don't that these be all marked WF-1.

Thanks,

-amrith
