Reserve “what’s new” for genuinely new packages. Introduce a
"what’s updated" section for updated packages. I believe brand new
contributions should stay on the radar a bit longer.
Identify the author of packages in the summary section(s) mentioned
above.
In the “Categories” section, list categories vertically rather than
horizontally. Format it like a table with the following columns:
Category Name, Description, # Subcategories, # Projects.
Just my 2c, with a nod to the guys who have worked on it to get it
this far.

I’d like to be able to search by release date. Over the holidays,
I missed several releases - I’d like a way to see what was released while
I was away.
Also, please remove the google search at the top and replace it with the
RAA search.

Former RAA did hold only mtime of each project. From RAA/2.2,
it keeps also ctime in DB. Each section of what’s-new and
what’s-updated will be introduced in the future.

There was the author column in the previous version but an user
pointed out that the column was uncecessary. We want to keep
projects table within 80 chars so adding the new column without
removing some column is rather hard… Is this a good idea that
replacing Version column with Author? How do users think?

I seem to fail to understand what you said. Would you please
explain the section you said here. Did you suggest adding the
new page which lists all projects sorted by category, rather than
extending current drill-down category listing?

Yeah, we RAA development team recognize your request.
We are planning to make RAA search more usable.
It’s in our To-Do list.
Please wait…
Also, please remove the google search at the top and replace it with the
RAA search.
Now we have removed the google search (to adjust design to new
Ruby Home Page).
Are you satisfied?
I have another request. Would it be possible to provide a scriptable
interface that allows the changing of the download link for a project.
This would allow me to more completely automate the uploading of new
versions of my projects. Perhaps something in the query string:
/raa/?action=setdownload&download=http://www.myserver.com/proj0.0.7.tgz
Possible?
Thanks hopefully.
-Tom

Thanks! Looks nice.
I actually meant to suggest replacing the google search with the raa
search form near the bottom? Any chance of moving that near the top?

Possible via SOAP, hopefully in the near future.
Current interface is read-only…
I’m wondering how to authorize the owner of each project.
I do not know about the top right, but I definately would like it at the top,
maybe on the top left in with the nav as it is currently but just higher.
Thanks for all your great work RAA re-development team, I think it looks
great.

I see. We discussed moving the search box to the top right
but abandaned it. We decided that we only follow the design
of www.ruby-lang.org this time.
Any chance of moving that near the top?
Yes, in the future.
Folks, do you like the box at the top right, too?

I wish much that I could run away from this language barrier
around me. :^(
Are you talking about either www.ruby-lang.org or RAA, or both?
If it regards to www.ruby-lang.org, I’ll talk to www.ruby-lang.org
development team. If it regards to RAA, what is nav here?

So sorry Nahi! I got confused about what is RAA and what is ruby-lang.org, for
some reason I tend to think of them as the same thing, but as you have
pointed out - this is not the case. I was actually talking about the ruby-lang.org site. Also in regard to ruby-lang.org site - should any of the
links that take people off the site have a target=“_blank” ? This is mainly
in concern to the nav on the left, but possibly should apply across the board
for the entire site. Just a thought.
Now to answer your original question NaHi. I vote for the search on the top
right too.

Holden Glova

Nononono! This number 2 on the top ten things NOT to do - don’t ever break the
user’s back button. If people want it in a new window, they can right click
and choose “new window”, but don’t ever do it for them! See http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990530.html for more.
