Re: keywords

[sergey@total-knowledge.com]

My thought is that we can combine both ideas.

1. When user creates new UMO he is not obligated to provide any
keywords(as it is now in html mock-ups). I think is slightly user
unfriendly.
2. Keywords are generated during UMO creation using Alexey's idea(we may
add checkbox "Generate keywords automaticaly" near Keywords text area). If
user _did_ provide his own keyword during creation of UMO, it will be
added to automaticaly generated keywords list.
3. Keywords should be editable imho, otherwise it will be user unfriendly.
