This might be handy to see which projects are active.

:+1: "recently uploaded" should just become "recently updated". I think updates are just as valuable as new plugins. If updates bumped the plugin to the top of the list, then we'd get a truer view of plugin activity and people would be rewarded for their maintenance efforts.

+1 to "recently updated." That's what I always expect on that tab, anyway.

Definitive +1 for recently updated list. I've had a look at it when using my plugin installer and found it much useful than "newest" list.

I was also thinking about limiting Most downloads and Most recommended lists to count only downloads and recommendations from limited time in the past. Something between 1-2 years I think. Perhaps making dropdown with several different limits would be cool.

Also agreed that the most downloads and recommended should be computed on a rolling basis (in the last month/year/etc.). That info would have to be cached and recomputed infrequently, though, not on every page view!
