Simple Question:
Is it possible to assign meta tags to a View?

Preferbly using Nodewords, but open to suggestions.

with the latest version of nodewords you can do it from here admin/content/nodewords/meta-tags/other

Not only for views but for every url.

the only problem is that it seems to be a bug http://drupal.org/node/672262 but now it's status is FIXED so it will work for you

I tried this. It seems not to work for Views pages. It behaves very strangely. I submit a custom meta tag form, and when I go to edit the form, it is empty/defaulted. also, it does not apply those tags to the page in question.

I've got exactly the same problem with one of my sites which uses the latest release (nodewords 6.x-1.11). But it works fine with another site using 6.x-1.2.

Update : I've just installed the 6.x-1.12beta version and everything seems OK.

Confirmed. 6.x-1.12beta Works perfectly :)

For anybody who's Googling and comes across this thread, Nodewords 2.0 is the version you want for adding meta tags to custom, non-node pages in Drupal. See here (http://drupal.org/node/1145986) that functionality from v1.12-rc1 got ported into the 2.x branch.

I'm using the alpha release, and it seems to be working fine for my limited, simple requirements.

I'm facing the same issue, but the "other" option of nodewords doesn't seem to help me, as I need to assign meta descriptions for a dynamic view, which has lots of different URLs which are arguments. The number of URLs is constantly growing (by adding more taxonomy terms), so it feels overly complicated having to add each new URL inside the nodewords interface.

You might want to have a look at the 2.x release of Nodewords, as the keywords and description fields for custom pages support tokens, so you can dynamically refer to CCK fields, taxonomies, etc.
