Chris, if you haven’t yet closed the list, I have one more suggestion: #hashtags. These could be combined with the word cloud suggested, as well as with tagging posts by software. But tags could also be used for more generic terms like #methodology, #GTD etc.

I know that hashtags are a ‘cultural’ thing, and I am still getting used to them, but they can be really handy, integrated in posts without the need for separate fields.

I would assume that there are plugins for the framework you use for the forum to recognise #hashtags, but you know better.
