I found this:

http://www.question2answer.org/qa/8309/how-populate-database-with-tags-without-creating-bunch-posts

But apparently it isn't compatible with the current version (and the explanation isn't very clear to me as a new user).  

Is there a way to do this with 1.5.3?

OK, I've answerd my own question by writing a patch.  Here it is:

https://github.com/martin05rc/Import-Tags

Now you can add a simple plain-text file with your tags and have them come-up when a user is asking a new question.

Being that I am new to the Question2Answer codebase I am not sure if I missed anything important.  It'd be great if someone with more familiarity with the code could take a look at what I've done and comment.  In particular, I am not sure when and where qa-page-question-post.php is used and don't know if I've fully tested it.

Your software works!
Tags are displayed in capitals, yes capital in tags box hints as well.

There is a much easier way to do this. Just fill in the words directly into the table qa_words and set two values to 1!

Sample-Insert-Script:

INSERT IGNORE INTO qa_words SET word='zypern', titlecount=0,contentcount=0,tagwordcount=1,tagcount=1;

The word has to be in lowercase then everything works fine. I filled about 4.800 words into the database!

I believe this will get undone if you run the db clean up operations found at Admin -> Stats.
