It seems that all maps have 1 rating right now of 0 stars. Unless someone is actually rating all maps 0 stars it's a bit misleading.

I say you should make a little 'ode to the developer' section in the site when you're finished. A tribute and a 'thank-you' for the man who brought us up out of the darkness and into a new refreshed light!

-Thanks for all the work you're doing. I hope this is benefiting you as much as it is us!

I was thinking of maybe developing user profiles a bit since, as you say, some ppl like to use them as their mapping portfolios.

Something along the lines of adding tabs to the profile page that would show a gallery of a user's maps/downloads etc, sprucing up the current profile page design and maybe adding something like a "featured items" section that a user could choose to display.

A 'favourites' list might be good as well, a system so user's could add a map/article etc as a 'fav' and the resulting list could be added to the profiles. Would also give people another way of sorting through the site content in addition to the current rating system.

This is to replace the Snarkpit Suggestions/Bugs Thread, in light of the proposed changes we will undertake. It seems clear to me now that the site as a reference for tutorials/scripting guides etc is slightly redundant in the face of Wiki style content management and other superior resources. In respect of this, I would prefer to move Snarkpit toward the area in which it really shines, as a portfolio site for all mappers. I hope to conserve the current user stock, although I can't guarantee anything until i've discussed it with coder people.
