Hi all,
A person who is looking at the Overview page of any project esp.
if they are looking at the featured project, are looking for info.
such as screenshots, a link to some home-page/wiki somewhere where
they can find some more info. on the featured project. For this e.g.
I'm going to take 2 examples, Jokosher Audio Editor & APTonCD ,
Jokosher Overview link to the home page there is no bigger screenshot
of the Editor itself. Nor a way to enlarge it. A potential user to the
project would be curious to know how it looks.
While AptonCD has neither any screenshots apart from the icon which
is very much similar to the cd burning icon has no link to any home
page.
Now the idea is not to just improve those two pages but to have
some kind of policy saying, featured projects should have a 1024*768
or higher resolution screenshot which can be seen in a pop-up or
another tab/window. (Hint: look at screenshots of programs on
wikipedia) Similarly, there needs to be a home-page for people who
want to find more info. on the featured project.
In an ideal world, this should be the case with each & every project.
(2838 at last count) Or at least this should be also one of the
considerations that needs to be followed when a project is declared as
a featured project.
