    It’s not clear with their posting but I suspect their suggestions for tag related functions won’t be similar to what’s coming in WP 2.5. I suspect they are wanting plugin developers to tap into the Calais API… The clue is that the only way to get the Calais GUID is to “submit content” to the service. Might be worth verifying if you could do so – because this would make a big difference in the design of the plugin (especially for the first two criteria).

    There is no functionality like this in development for WordPress 2.5 .

    There is no tag suggest functionality in 2.5, it is auto complete functional when starting to type a term.

    People have discussed changing the clouds in 2.5 to be semantic markup, that isn’t what the bounty item is about.

    So what is the difference between auto complete and auto suggest?

  4. Aaron (33 comments.) says:

    They want a fully-functional, semantic auto-suggest feature for $5k? That seems a little low.

    The only web-based service that I ever saw like that was done by Yahoo!, but it’s been defunct for a year or two, and if they were easy enough to make to be worth only $5k, all the SEO sites would have one.

    The database alone would exceed the size of all but the biggest WordPress sites.

    Oh, my bad. They want the plugin to submit all of the blog posts to them and they will return the tags.
