What do you think, should tags be lowercased? Is there a compelling case to allow upper-case characters in the tags? Anyone strongly prefers sentence-cased tags?
Looks like there is a glitch currently when someone tries to enter tag, which is already in the database, but has a different character case.
The two solutions I can think of are:
Which option do you like better?
now askbot allows both styles, switchable in "settings->data entry and display->force lowercase tags" (default is False), also there is a management command "fix_question_tags" that fixes inconsistencies in the tags.
I guess it's better to downcase tags before searching and keep them lower case in database.
