Should we add folders to make things easier to find? about powercli-example-scripts HOT 5 OPEN

You could, on the other hand I can imagine scripts/functions that would fit
in two or more folders.
Perhaps stick with meta tags for now.

Do you plan a front-end for access?

+1 on the tag usage

I don't believe a front end was in the plans so far. Do you have an example of one you like?

The PowerShell Gallery https://www.powershellgallery.com/ is quite nice,
although they don't impose tags (yet).
Their search looks in the Description and function names it seems.

Adding/verifying meaningful tags could be one of the tasks of the admins of
the repository.

Another interface can be found at poshcode.org

The gallery doesn't impose tags, but they do support it; for example PSDeploy is tagged with Deploy, Continuous, etc.

With those tags in the module metadata, the front end (and PowerShellGet functions) can display them:

Lastly, even if you end up implementing your own front end system, it would likely be helpful to PowerShell users who now have commands like Find-Module, Find-Script, or Install-Module, to have access to functions, scripts, or modules from this repo.

If you're interested in this, hit me up, would be happy to help drop some continuous integration and deployment scaffolding in place to automate this (Example deploying PSDeploy with PSDeploy) : )

Cheers!

tags will make it easier to search across the entire dataset, especially as it grows larger.
