Project News are not intuitive (enough)  
Written by gnoxx the 13 Nov 09 at 12:54. Global category: Project News. Implemented
When posting a new Newsitem, only a short outline is shown on the project summary page.

One would expect, that clicking on the news title in this outline should take you to the whole news item. But: it doesn't. Instead, one is taken to a page where one can submit a new topic.

To view the whole news item, one has to click "Develop", than move the cursor over the "Develop"-Tab, then click on "News".

This is not very intuitive and confuses users, that aren't sourceforge members (are not into sourceforge, so to speak) and just want to look for news about some software they are using.

Developer comments
New news items now link to the news post from the feed instead of to a forum post.

Selected solution (#1): Change the page the news title is linked to
Written by gnoxx the 13 Nov 09 at 12:54.
Clicking on the title of a news item on the project summery page should take the user to "https://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=..." istead of "https://sourceforge.net/projects/sfnews/forums/forum/..."
