Happy birthday CodePlex! You really came a long way! Smiley The early CP was just horrible and I couldn’t agree more with you Sara on not being able to describe the horribleness Wink

I like your deployment cycle. It’s very unusual for MS product (if I may describe CP like that) to release new features to customers so often. I hope this spreads to some more MS projects very soon Smiley

I wish code plex had a "best of" feature.

Most of the projects on codeplex are barren wastelands with no new code drops, forum threads, or bug entries.

I know you're trying to address this, but where are some of the best forum posting, code drops, or bugs?

I've looked at the ratings feature as you mentioned in the video...but the rating feature is pretty arbititary.

Where are some examples of really good projects or projects that the codeplex team likes?

They show new releases and most downloaded on the main page. They could have a "most active" section like SF.NET has though.

Any chance of Bazaar or Git support? Smiley

???

seems to me like the few times i wanted to report problems with projects the codeplex site was not really god for that.

i had to find an ms person who was part of the project and tell them i had filed like 3 bugs ... the bugs sat there w/o my getting any questions or comments. also searching the bug tracker seems weak, over time i saw several other bugs there that related to my bugs but no way to say "hey all 15 reports are related and might be fixed all at one time"

or a way to just link them ... see #,#,#,# (list of related bug reports)

somethings like that.

Can I search the source code stored at the CodePlex site? Often times I need to see samples of how a class or method is used and have a hard time searching the web for that. Dead projects would be useful for the purpose of providing code samples.
