Rocket.chat: Feature Request: User tags (searchable)

[shahar3012]

User Tags

Allow users to add tags about themselves:

• User can manage his tags in the profile settings page.
  
  
  
  • Auto-suggest tags entered by other users.
  
  
• Ability to search users by their tags.
• Show user's tags in profile view inside chats.

Tags could be anything from language spoken, skills/expertise, to logical grouping.

user document addition:

{
 ...,
 tags: array of strings
}

This feature was requested in my organization and we're willing to contribute and develop this feature.
Tags can be used to search other people by role, expertise, organization hierarchy and much more.
Each user defines his own tags, to help other users find him quickly and more easily.
Future feature might involve tags and automatically creating groups based on common tags, in order to create tag-based communities, connect people and create engagement between different teams, people, roles.

We would like to get feedback about this feature request.
