I put up a quick mockup on my website and have done nothing since then. (I was going to paste link here, but in a stunning display of synchronicity, my site is down for the first time since moving to new server...) Basically it's a basic content management system. I've done enough of that that i could have a nice prototype up in a weekend using zope/cmf/plone/archetypes. I just haven't taken the time, and I do it all day for work, so my motivation tends to be low ;-) Also my visual design is awful, so help with css and layout would be appreciated. The site would have both registered and anonymous users. Usage policy can be discussed, but I think a reasonable starting point would be something like: registered users can: - post entries for new software - post updates on software entries - post reviews of software - post links - post short comments on other items anonymous users can: - post short comments on other items - register We could expand the site from there, maybe make it a more full-featured portal if users like it. Have articles, news items, member profile pages, maybe (blecch) forums :=) On LAD we also discussed the possibility of having a ratings system for software, but the consensus was that quantitative ratings are more trouble than they are worth, especially given how quickly software quality can change. But written user reviews generally met with approval. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's BLONDE BOONDAWGAL! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
