User friendly forge ideas

[mediawizard]

Thx to the SF team, the forge rox.

A couple of important features to make this more user friendly -

1. When we clicked on a project name in the last forge we got directly to the file releases. This saved a lot of time for the users.

2. I think someone has already mentioned this - categorization and forum integration [no one really used the earlier forge forum either]

3. In the projects list here - there should be a column with no. of files [or even better - links to download files] directly here. This would prevent people from wasting time checking file releases for projects that have none.

Just my 2 cents, once again, thx to SF and the core for this fantastic forge

Since we've had many questions on this topic I'm posting a "sticky" thread in this regard.

We're working on a project categorization system that will integtrate with Joomla (i.e. it will be a Joomla Module). Project Admins will categorize their projects such that site visitors/users can navigate by interest/need to select the project(s) of their choice. We will tie it into a "Immediate download from File Release" system is that's all that is needed (so if all you need is the app, you can pull it down from the project categorization system without actually having to enter the project and then navigate to the File Rleases app).

This is why you should read the stickies, and the relevant topics in the forum b4 posting.
Sry all but I repeated the obvious

I like the idea of "a column with no. of files [or even better - links to download files]..."

I'll raise it as an enhancement request.

Thanks!
