It would be cool to have several options (if users wish to use it this way) - and I get this may be a total pain from an IT perspective to actually set up.
1. Creator of notebook can grant tagging privileges to users in shared notebooks. This is separated privilege from editing/deleting.
2. To limit clutter in the creator's other notebooks from members, have Tags for shared notebooks limited to that notebook (i.e concept of shared tags).
3. Add a search check box for global searches to "exclude shared notebooks" (Default to be to include them) when searching via tags.
4. Creator can delete / edit shared tags. Members can add tags, but not edit or delete them (mainly so someone can maintain a sense of order).
5. Creator can delegate one additional member with full admin privileges who can delete / edit shared notebook tags.
Does that rambling make any sense?
Makes sense to me! Such a simple thing to do and even with four years of complaints, there are no alternatives. Something needs to change. At least let the creator have an option to declare a notebook open to other editors or declare other admins. The creator may be someone completely unrelated to actual users, it doesn't make sense that we need to bug them every time we want to create a tag.
Maybe this is a Business feature, but these are pretty common sense and should be available to all.
