[p2pu-dev] Should we be recommending Profile tags as the main way to suggest course ideas?

[Zuzel VP]

Scenario:

Potential organizer has a set of skill tags on their profile, clicks
on a tag to go to a page in which it is possible to see users who used
that tag for things they want to learn (potential participants), users
who used that tag for skills (potential co-organizers), interests
(potential followers), other study groups tagged with the same tag
(potential groups he can join as co-organizer, or clone as starting
point).

Potential participant has a set of "what to learn about" tags on their
profile, clicks on a tag to go to a page in which it is possible to
see users who used that tag for study groups (potential study groups
he can join), other uses who also used the tag for the "want to learn
about" section of their profile (potential peers), other users who
used the tag for skills (potential mentors) or interests (potential
people to follow).
