Subpages:
This page holds the results of a brainstorm about what such a ProjectRepository should be and/or do. Feel free to add ideas and wishes - which doesn't mean they are implemented any time soon .
Open ideas
- Everyone should be able to enter new entries
- Entries should be confirmed before they are published
- A hierarchical navigation scheme would be nice
- The entries shall be presented on a web page
- An entry shall consist at least of
- an URL to the respective project
- a short textual description of the project
- Other elements of an entry could be
- Links to related projects
- Where to place the project in the hierarchical navigation scheme
- Tags
- More links with may be a certain set of meaning
- An arbitrary number of comments
- All elements of an entry must be editable if a user is authorized to do so
- It must be possible that each description is availabe in various languages
- Tags describing an entry would be fine so a tag cloud could be used for navigation
- When entering tags there should be a mechanism to use existing tags
- It must be possible to map tags on each other by an administrative process
- An URL checker would be nice which checks whether a given URL still responds
- An URL checker could be even more useful if it checks whether the result of an URL changed since the last check
- When an URL is supplied it must be checked for validity meaning that some content is returned by the URL
- Some history mechanism could keep entries in older versions
- Some mechanism must find out URLs pointing into the same site so double entries can be found
