Activeness indicator

: July2010
: project, indicator, july2010
 It would be useful to have some sort of "activeness" indicator(s) for a project.  For example, is the project still being developed and/or supported? Are there future releases planned? I'm thinking of the situation where you see a project that hasn't been touched for say 2 years.  It would be ...

Add a "follow" function

: July2010
: july2010
 It would be nice to have a "follow" function that would allow me to subscribe to a project and receive notifications of updates, releases, discussions and so on. This could help to increase activity, and perhaps more importantly, community, around a project.
 
Perhaps a daily or weekly digest might ...

Free Development Environment for Projects with more than one Contributor

: July2010
: july2010
OpenNTF should provide on request two databases hosted on an OpenNTF development server.
 
In one database contributors can do the actual development, share code and try the app over HTTP.
 
A second database (wiki or discussion) can be used to manage internal project information, e.g. specs.

Possible to change your username

: July2010
: username
My current username is not my real name, since the correct one is connected to an old email address which I cannot access any longer.
 
It would be nice that my email is unique identifier, and that I would be able to change my name whenever I want to.

Rename "Testimonials" to "Reviews" and let users rate the project while writing a review

: July2010

I've never understood the word 'testimonials' within a project. I think everybody knows about writing reviews.

Logos, widgets and other assets

Hello!

  3. Marketing material
 
Thanks for considering my idea.

Place a 'download now' link on the main project page to the latest available release

: July2010
: july2010
Should not be hard to realize, it helps users a bit to download a application easier.

More Documentation/Pictures and the ability to Contribute

: July2010
: july2010
Often I abandon looking at an otherwise promising OpenNTF project because there's no screenshot or no documentation.
 
Sometimes I'll be looking for an upgrade to something that I'm already using.  In those cases, I'm actually in a position to provide a working screenshot or a "review" or other documentation. ...

Brief Explanation of license types

: July2010
: licensing, apache, gpl, july2010
 I'd like to see some sort of brief description which tells me what the Apache license means and what the GPL license means.  
 
When I go to the download page I see the two categories but I've got no idea what they "really" mean, or what the difference ...

Better way to find Quality Projects - Enhance Rating System

: July2010
: rating
On your initial Projects page, the top project on the 'most downloaded' list is a project that hasn't attained a 1.0 release and hasn't been updated in a year.  So this one has a popular title, but that's it.  ( A Google calendar sync)
 
A list of Projects by ...

Contibutor vs "approved" contibutor - better recognition

: July2010
: contibutors
It took me a while to even find this page http://openntf.org/Internal/home.nsf/people.xsp on the site. It would be good to:
 
a) Highlight the owners, chefs, etc in a dedicated page that is easy to find
and
b) "approved contributor" means nothing unless they have actually contributed code (in fact, ...
