Computing overhead of HTTPS is extremely low, especially when compared to PHP & MySQL. Configuration is easy. Only one wildcard certificate is needed for the whole sourceforge domain. So why not? You could have it up & running this evening.

Advertisements that have the word "DOWNLOAD" in them or the equivalent icon (an arrow pointing down) should be banned from SF for causing unnecessary confusion and visual pollution. The only reason those ads exist is because people click on them mistakenly. They shouldn't be allowed on a reputable site like sourceforge.

The SPDY protocol should be implemented since it offers a better way of loading a webpage which will make it faster for everyone.

You already have upvoting enabled for the project just expand that to the tracker so users can "upvote" the feature/bug or whatever so the developers can see that.

This is some of the use-cases I would like to cover:

There is a new key feature in the tracker. The project lead have many other things to do but since it is a sensible and valuable enhancement he put's it up on the project market. The statement is that if a single entity guarantees $10000 then it will be the first thing to get done. The terms and payments are otherwise organized off-line.

There is a tracker with change requests and defects. Users can vote for changes. Instead of voting by points they can vote in dollars (non-binding). When an issue gets many votes the project lead see that there is a reasonable solution he may opt to open it for contributions, stating that for $1000 he would fix the issue. Money is held on Source Forge's account until the $1000 have been contributed. The money is paid out to the project after the issue is closed. It is up to the project lead to decide when the issue is completed and can be closed.

Finally, I would expect that Source Forge, as a platform provider, would take a percentage.

It would be great if we could have a svn hook that enforced that the code followed a particular "style". Similar to what astyle.sourceforge.net does. We would have a set of "styles" to pick from or maybe have an option

Give the donate an option to setup a paypal "subscription" for the project where they can choose "monthly, semi-monthly or yearly" donation schedule.

This increases the chances that they will continue to contribute to the project rather than having to do this manually.

A forum where people looking for a solution can post what their needs are and get feedback from the community about what projects might meet those needs would be very helpful.

Two problems:
- detect OS/CPU platform of user
- select "best" download file from in a specific FRS folder

Problem 1:
The user agent string from the browser gives some clues on x64 bit platforms (Win64, x64, WOW64), depending on whether a 32 or 64 bit browser is used.

Problem 2:
The file names of some files give some hints, on which cpu level to use. Such as "build-1.0.0-x64.exe". Moreover the "default download for" should be expanded to differentiate (optionally) not only between platform, but also between cpu level (x64, x86)

For each icon that is shown to convey informatin , such as on a project page listing what OS platform is supported , have a tooltip popup on mouseover telling what the icon is.

This would be something like "Treat [insert file extension] as [dropdown menu of currently available highlight methods]" so that in my case I might do something like "Treat .cu files as C++".

In addition, I'd like to see syntax highlighting for Makefiles, which have the additional problem of typically not having an extension at all.

Create some sort of link so that clicking on a file in the Downloads tool would do the same thing as clicking "download" from the Code tool. The main requirement would be that what's available from the Downloads tool matches the Code file and is updated in real time whenever a developer changes the file.

The new version of git (v1.7.x) supports sparse checkouts, so my problem would be solved, if git would be upgraded to version 1.7.x.

With Git, even with sparse checkouts, your clone still has a copy of the local repository in the .git directory.

What the sparse checkout does is limit what files that git presents in your working directory. It is strictly a client side issue, the parent repository does not have any knowledge of you having a sparse checkout.

So as long as you can use a newer Git client on an older git repository, the sparse checkout feature should work.

I am not currently at Git user, so I am not able to try this solution.

Speculation about implementation difficulty:
I believe that should be an easy task. For example, transform the link

http://vectorpartition.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vectorpartition/trunk/vpf7.cp p?view=markup

to something like

http://vectorpartition.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vectorpartition/trunk/vpf7.cp p?view=markup&line=455

(I have added &line=455: show line 455).
You can add an anchor to the specific line (in this case line 455).

Note that this solution would disturb no pre-existing links or conventions.

Thanks for reading this suggestion!

A brave after-thought. This suggestion can be thought as a step towards "wikify-ing" a c++ project. Imagine someone could find a bug and make a one-line fix directly to the code ... :)
