[Savannah-hackers] Re: Hosted Projects List is not clear

[Richard Stallman]

    The order is chronological (registration date). 

Nothing said this, at least not that I could see.  So please add at
the top a brief header "All registered packages, newest first".  Then
it won't be confusing.

Please keep this in mind as a general principle.  If the order of
things in a list is not alphabetical, always say explicitly what the
order is.

Next to that header, it would be good to add a link to the other ways
to access the list (by searching, all GNU, all non-GNU, etc).  That's
the place a person will first think to look for such links, so putting
them there will make everything easier.

Does the search facility make it easy to get a list of
packages that start with a certain letter?

It might be convenient to offer a way to get a list of all packages,
showing just package names, several names per line.  This way, all the
package names could be in a single large page and it would still be
feasible.
