I would like to see a rehaul of the "projects" feature under Community>Gallery. I feel this should be a prominent feature of the site and should be a separate tab on the navigation bar, or at least its own link under Community (rather than somewhere in Gallery). The layout of projects need to be updated as well. It seems projects are generally being used to upload pictures. For each project, there should be separate pages for images, videos, a written game design outline, concept art/sketches, where to download, and about (for information regarding the game's development and the team, etc).
Also, these projects should be featured on the main page the same way articles are. I think members would make more use of the "projects" feature if these changes took place.
Just on a personal note.. I have recently become EXTREMELY interested in seeing this happen. I feel like a combination of new articles and seeing great projects could serve as a pretty good heart beat for the site. To be honest, I think once you start mixing in all the creative Indie projects out there you start getting a sense of just how frickin creative people are. We need a "Your Announcements" on steroids.. with all sorts of mixed in projects. While I'm not sure the gallery is the best place to start with this, I think I can overhaul the old GDS quickly enough to make it work really quite well.
