  For the "Resources by Rating" dropdown, can we make that a star chooser (like as if you were voting)?

  
  I am talking about ditching the select box and replacing it with a star chooser. Just have each star link to corresponding results page or set a hidden select box to the correct value and submit the form.
  
  

  Do you mean to make these items collapsable ala scriptaculus?

  
  Yes, I am referring to scriptaculus.
  
  

  
  We will have to think this over. Who determines which items are featured? At what point do items become core team audited? These are questons we as a team need answered before we put the functionality in place.

  
  Here is my opinion on this. I think the following people should have the ability to feature an item: Admins, Coding Team, and Repository Team. I think anyone on the team should be able to enable core team audited.

  I’ve made a few minor adjustments to the Repository:
  
  

  
  
  • Version information is now styled independant of the resource title on the main listings and single item pages.
  • Main listings and individual items now display the license information.

  
  I’m currently having a fiddle with the script.aculo.us stuff and I will be aiming tomorrow to get RSS feeds enabled for the listings on the repository homepage.
  
  Thanks for the ideas and suggestions everyone, keep ’em coming ... what doesn’t get included now will definitely be looked at in future updates.

  On the star rating, I think it should show how many votes have been cast... As I’d probaly better trust a solid 3 or 4 start snippet with 10,000 votes than a 1-vote 5 start snippet.
  
  The star rating on the overview page (where you can’t vote for it) should also probably fall down into the "main" description block, proably at the top-right across from the name/author. The top block is all action items and makes me want to be able to vote from there. This would let us then have all the action links in one nice row, that probably belongs under the description block... thoughts?

  Also thinking about some way a few things are phrased here and there. You guys mind if I make some minor edits?
  
  
  Regarding the lightbox images, something there is sticking out to me as odd... is there a way to not enlarge small images to the full size/max, like here?

  In IE the preview images get an underline when you hover the image. When hovering the image the content below shifts down to make room for the underlining of the image. in FF this is not the case.
  
  the close image in the lightbox popup has an underline or maybe the positioning is not right? both in IE and in FF

  Speaking of the close, why don’t we change the Close X into "Click image to return".

  I had come accross this.
  This is a "problem" I have encountered and it tool me a while to realize it was linked to the conditionnal code for IE which is bundled with Minimal Template :
  
  <!--[if lte IE 6]>
  
  <style type="text/css" media="screen, tv, projection">
  body { behavior: url(assets/js/csshover.htc); } /* hover:anything support */
  #content { margin-left: 22px; } /* to avoid the BMH */
  a, a:link { border-bottom-style: solid } /* becuase IE just doesn’t dot */
  </style>
  
  <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/sleight.js"></script>
  
  <![endif]-->
  
  You have to reset link styles with a border-bottom-style: none; for IE
  
  While I am here : I love the MaxiGallery integration to view screenshots
  I didn’t have a chance to really dig the repository, but I’ll try to take 30 minutes to comb it down to see if I find any bugs or have any suggestions... first impressions are really good though !

  I’ve just added some RSS feeds to the repository homepage - they might need a bit of tweaking here or there so comments welcome.
  
  I’ll be a bit pushed for time today and tomorrow but will pick up any issues over the weekend.
