Explore talks view: suggestions

[cormullion]

It's great to see the nifty word cloud again, it's very cool!

My suggestions for making it even better are:

• to remove words that are too general to be useful
• to add some words to an "always show" list

For example, I don't think anyone is going to say: "Please show me the time of talks that include the word 'example'." Or "How many talks are about 'etc'?" If there's some kind of stop list, a lot of these types of word could be excluded, and presumably make more room for things that people might want to find... More candidates: "programming language", "allow", "et al", "basic", "value", "aim", - et al.

Then, some things to show would be things like "pluto", "makie", "climate", etc. and perhaps words with prefixes such as "astro" or "bio". It's these words that people are more like to want to look for.

I suppose ideally some kind of tagging system would work best. I couldn't see tags in the data I downloaded, so perhaps it would have be part of the submission process...?
