Almost.  When packages have a large number of tags, only the first 6 (in
alphabetical order, probably) will be considered.  Which is a bit of a
random criteria.

You're right.  When you wrote you the first time I thought you were
right as well, but I've never got out of the habit :(
Now I changed it to 'similar'.

I also javascripted a bit the edit page, and now hiding a facet box is
instantaneous.  Yay!  That's a first step towards getting me into
Ajax...  Let's hope for the best.


Ciao,

Enrico who doesn't want to see any "doesn't work with browser X" that
doesn't come with a patch :)
