Firefox's extension site looks like a good example to me: https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox They can sort extensions (read: projects) by rating, popularity, date and have an "Editor's pick". In addition, they categorize all extensions. Furthermore, they don't overwhelm the user with version information. At least not until they actually want to download/install the extension. (First you find the module, then you worry about the details.) Frankly, I think it is as simple as making (part of) the project module behave more like Firefox's extension site. Of course, that doens't fully address the original issue -- improving CVS and project management -- but it would help nonetheless. The rating, popularity and editor's pick, make the "fitest projects" bubble to the top. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
