currently, "how we do it" is part of the URL (/userapps/wordpress/). Nobody cares about that. It wastes space and looks ugly.

My solution:
add a new item in the drop down list box, Sort By, in order to be able to rder the list of projects with the "Least Update" ones first.
I think it is a simple query database change.

The default status filter should be "non-deleted", which would show all items whose status is anything but "deleted".

I understand that for security reasons scripts cannot currently call out from sourceforge servers (or something close to that). Please consider changing this, adding a config option for a project so that it can be enabled if needed, or making an exception in this case. Joomla is a great CMS and the sourceforge community would benefit greatly.

Rather than having everybody mess around with their individual install, provide a "standard" solution easy to use, if it's really so widespread.

If installing a Tomcat hosted app reconfigured the standard project-web server to point traffic to Tomcat, but left the rest of tomcat management up to the project team (starting services, what jars are available, etc), then this could potentially be implemented trivially.

I would like to see the weekly download stats for all my projects (I have 20-30) on my user page such as https://sourceforge.net/users/jmichae3
next to the link for the project. the project names are typically short enough to allow for enough whitespace for either an iconized stats or a simple number like 26downloads/wk or 26DL/week or 26DL/wk, however you want to do it.

I personally would prefer seeing a number rather than an icon only, since I can see the list of numbers easily and I don't have to hover over each one for 2 seconds to get a number, that's too much work.

I have an idea for the iconized stats which may work.
graph in one color like orange #ff9933 from the visibone color wheel's color blind web safe color-blind palette on 1 layer with 50% opacity, number centered horizontally and vertically in icon/box/div/span/whatever with color blue #3399ff, also from the visibone color wheel's color blind web safe color-blind palette. has contrast since they are opposites on the color wheel. see visibone.com to get the color wheel (I like the laminated "book").

maybe make the graph wider than it is tall maybe by 2-3x to handle large numbers?

or direct me to the project which covers these web stats so I can make the requests?

Currently one can set the default download file for different platforms. The very same interface could be allowed to set a folder as default download. In that case, the button currently providing a direct link would just open the selected release folder in the browser.

And instead of disallowing lowercase usernames , support at least the standard MS supports -- of Preserving but ignoring case. -- that will prevent problems with case issues, or ID's differing only in case.

It would be more user friendly and smarter -- especially to allow those who had uppercase user names to login without having to go through email recovering when they aren't ssure what email account a login went to ..... *whistling innocently***.....

I used to login with 'LindaAthena'. It was saved in 3 separate browsers.

I had to use password retrieval to login because the login screen would not accept my original signup username. You may never have allowed upper-case in usernames, but it was accepted and quietly converted to lower case behind the scenes -- so this was transparent to us. If you believe they were never allowed, I would bet the change was in the front-end web code -- that it, internally changed a typed name to all lower case before storing it or comparing it against the userbase.

Perhaps passwords used to be case insensitive, and that was changed, so someone decided to also strip the case lower-code for entering user names?

Whatever the case, if you only accept lower case user names, then good user-interface design would dictate that you would ignore case (and always convert to lower case before doing compares). I have a feeling that might be what was done, but that it also was done for passwords. Someone noticed that case was ignored in passwords fixed it, and noticed the same issue with logins and "fixed" that too.

It also might be related to moving to HTML5, using UTF-8 instead of iso-8859-1. In the latter, changing case was a simple as "|" (or) with 0x20. But it's a bit more involved in UTF-8.

If SF were to enable this capability in Beta 2.0 projects for a 180 day test period it would be a significantly differentiating technology for the new interface. If load or other issues arise the project can be terminated.

I don't know why sourceforge doesn't work with openid from startssl, but I presume it is due to the lack of one feature in the standard which is not presently supported.
