This is why I started a "survey" on the Jed Wiki. Please visit

  http://www.jedsoft.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Survey

and add your ticks. 

Also have a look at the documentation about metadata formats 
  http://www.jedsoft.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Mode_Metadata
and the keywords proposal
  http://www.jedsoft.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Mode_Keywords
.

This would speak in favour of the simple wiki way of doing it. See
   http://www.jedsoft.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Jed_Modes
for a (crude) example.
