Tagging for the Linux desktop

Leaftag is a library and set of utilities for tagging files on the Linux desktop. It's a convenient way of organizing files in a non-hierarchical manner. Local files, websites, or anything with a URI can be tagged with one or more names and easily referenced by anything that supports Leaftag.

Some notes for developers can be found at Leaftag Integration.
