Dashboard contribution list is looks terrible

[musukvl]

Current module list ugly and uninformative in comparison with old one. I'm not UI expert, but I don't think new dashboard UI can inspire someone to contribute Orchard CMS. I'm looking to old dashboard it has some issues and bugs, but it is beautiful in comparison with new one.

I'm suggesting to create special controllers/views to show list of user's contributions. And make it more user friendly, then Orchard common content list.

There are some problems I see:

• Title "Manage Content" and "Content" in navigation. What is this about? I'm expecting to see "My Modules" and "My Themes".
• To see my packages I need to adjust filters before.
• Old list contains useful information like icon, description, downloads, reviews. New one have "This is a Package"
• Old gallery idea of contribution wizard is really good. New dashboard gives you Lego with unpredictable result.

Anyway, I hope that current version of gallery is just first steps, and It will be changed to be more user friendly. It will be nice to have ability to contribute OrchardGallery because now repository is empty.

The code of OrchardGallery repository is available. Contributions are welcome.

I am facing a problem. From new gallery https://gallery.orchardproject.net, I can create a package for new contribution but I can't upload a package file, that is .nupkg file for module contribution. And the old contribution site http://orchardproject.net/contribution, I can't login into it. How can I upload a module package file?

@KBasher, my understanding (having created and published a module recently) is that you have to host the package file elsewhere now, hopefully someone will correct me if that's not the case! I did this by creating a release for my module on GitHub, uploading the .nupkg to it and using that as the package source url.

My blog is linked from my profile and I've got a write-up there of the steps I took in the 'orchard' tag which might be of help.
