Title
Multiple tag selection for the tagadelic module

Task description
Tags are commenly used on the web and are well accepted among users, often we see "tagclouds". The Tagadelic Module for Drupal creates such a tagcloud from the internal taxonomy system. Unfortunately it's only possible to click on one tag to select. It's later on though not possible to refine the selection. It would be nice if it was possible to concate several tags. So for example you select Tag x. Then you get a long list of nodes. maybe within this node you now want to make a finer selection and add another tag from the cloud. So beside every tag there need to be a little plus that makes it possible to add a tag to the current selection.
The Drupal Taxonomy Module provides already a way to display parts of a selection of a taxonomy

This description is still pretty vague. Please see the instructions at http://groups.drupal.org/node/7360#tasks and specifically at http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-drupal/wiki/Ho... for more information.

Also, for patches to modules, we generally like to have the maintainers approval that such a patch would be considered for inclusion into the module. Have you talked to the tagadelic maintainer about this (or perhaps you are that person)?

Your task idea definitely needs a deliverables section, but even then I think it's a bit unclear what you want from the student. If you could try to be a bit more clear, and perhaps even provide a mockup of the functionality you want, that would be helpful so that the student who takes this task gets going in the right direction from the start.

Tagadelic is not the place for such a feature, IMO.

You might want to look at http://drupal.org/project/refine_by_taxo, wich does what you want.
