Tagging is going OK.  I should have some time this week to finish and 
test it.

The tag table is in the database and I can add, delete and update 
records.  The person views and person filter work.  The signals are 
being emitted, but changing over to the new signals has introduced some 
bugs with the menus and combo boxes not updating correctly - I need to 
look at this.

The person editor should work, but I haven't tested it.

I am also only working on the person object at the moment.   I was not 
going to add tags to the other primary objects until I tested the 
tagging on people successfully.

It shouldn't take long, but it justs depends when I find the time.
