I suggest using the tag system for this. That way related content can be shown
even if it's not in the projects module. For example: say ornithology clubs at
different schools started projects to record birds sighted at their school that
year. Different schools would have different projects, and blog posts,
pictures, forum posts, etc may be related and we'd want to show them in the nav
of the projects pages, and vice-versa.
>> "As it is now, users start similar projects, because they don't understand
that they could just join an existing project."
Will add some text above the 'create new project' form, explaining this. It
could be that some users don't want to join a project, they would rather do
something on their own, or don't want to be associated with specific people.

Ok, go for it. We will see how that works out.

If we don't cluster the existing projects soon, we will only have more work
later since projects will be started at a faster rate soon. Rather let the
authors allocate their projects to a certain group themselves, I think.

Along with the new project categories, can we please restructure the main
project page a bit?
1. In the main column, instead of all projects, I would just like to see the
project categories their related project titles.
2. In the side column, we can show the ten most active projects displayed the
same way as the "more projects" are displayed now.
Thank you.

To be more precise, I meant:
2. In the side column, we can show the ten most active projects displayed in
the same way as AND INSTEAD OF the "more projects" that are displayed now.

Can we start now to work on this issue? It really becomes quite critical now.

Added project categories/tags to nav, removed 'More' and replaced it with 'Most
Active', activity will be measured from now and is ranked by the rate of
revisions. Will see how it goes and set a cutoff after which revisions don't
count (say 3 months or so).
RE# 4 - showing projects by category will be a very big list, showing projects
multiple times as they can be sorted every which way, can you confirm this is
what you'd like?

This is good!
Yes, the list will become too long, you are right. So, perhaps we can show a
list of just project categories (sorted alphabetically) with each one example
(the largest project concerning data input for example) and then the
possibility to click on >> more.
The tags and the tag cloud are a great addition to get an overview of topic
importance, followed by the overview of activity in the projects.

Ok, we can leave it as it is. Thank you for your ideas, Strix.
