Initial findings:

* Kuma wiki inherits tagging from Kitsune, which uses django-taggit

* Kitsune uses django-taggit, but with modifications to enforce choices from a predetermined vocabulary of tags

* The vocabulary depends on what's already present in the taggit_tag database - eg. added by data import or admin pages. Users can't make up new tags. 

* Documents can be listed by tag filter in Kuma view

* Tags are not currently shown in the document template

* Tag editing is not currently enabled in document editing

Next steps:

* Migrate tags over from MindTouch as part of bug 710722

* Enable tag display in document view, with links to doc listing filtered by tag

* Enable tag management in document editing

* Remove the constrained tagging vocabulary code to maintain feature parity with MindTouch, maybe add a tag suggestion / auto-complete field like the profile page uses.

Going to call this closed, since it was just a research bug and I have researched it.
