I will be as concise as I can. I will iterate over the sections and cut away babbling. My aim is to provide a useful tool-set and some mental tips. The fewer words with the better.

I will however be needing some feedback. If you read it and feel I've missed something or that I am not clear enough throw me a note.

Also - I'll try to include some illustrations, so it won't be too boring

Problemstilling

Nogen gange kan det være svært at få resten af verden til at forstå, at Internet Explorer ikke er den eneste browser. TDC var en af de tungnemme, da de blev sat på opgaven. Mac brugere oplever ofte at få beskeden "Vi understøtter ikke Mac med digital signatur". Det er dog ikke helt sandheden, da de fleste offentlige institutter rent faktisk godtager det, hvis man installerer den korrekt. Som regel virker det, hvis den installeres i Firefox, men det er dog ikke altid. Installering i ens Keychain er desværre ikke nok til, at det fungerer i Safari.

Løsningen er dog enkel... Når signaturen placeres korrekt på maskinen kan de fleste signatur Java applets finde signaturen uden problemer, og man behøver derfor ikke at trykke "Gennemse..", hvilket i nogen tilfælde heller ikke er muligt (eksmepelvis på dele af personregistrering.dk).

Fremgangsmåde

Åbn din signatur i Safari (f.eks. Digital Signatur for Jens Jensen.html).

Tryk på Gem Digital Signatur knappen, Tryk OK til Advarslen om formatet. En dialog om placering kommer op.

Tryk herefter CMD+Shift+G. En dialog om sti kommer op.

Tast: ~/.oces og tryk enter.

Tryk enter for at bekræfte placeringen i denne særlige mappe.

Færdig. Fremover skulle det se nogenlunde sådan ud:

For the first time in over 5 years a major release will be made to jEdit! Alan Ezust has now committed a change that makes the next release version 4.3.0. With a new visual look, better platform support, many more features and much improved performance I can safely say that it's a great release and much welcomed!

When I discovered jEdit back in 2002/2003 I was happy to see that there was finally an editor that met all my weird needs and supported all the platforms I was using. I felt that my search for an editor was over...

4 years later I joined the team. I switched to Mac when I started my company, a digital agency, and since then I've been trying to contribute as much as I can. First I refreshed the visual look of jEdit. Then I made random contributions and lastly I joined the core developers and developed the new Mac OS X plugin that supports the new 64bit JVM Apple has in store for Java 1.6.

I've been very close to giving up as a contributor on jEdit due to the lack of stable releases. It seemed that there was no filter or release plan to keep the project moving forward in an organised manner. This has been a concern for many users and been a long discussion on the mailing list. Today I talked to Alan about this and he made the final decision. One small commit for him, but a milestone for jEdit.

Hooray!

It seems all those years of drawing doodles on paper during classes finally paid off...

I'm moving my blog to my new domain, namely seph.dk. I'm handing over mijav.dk to Midtjysk Animations Væksthus (aka The Animation Workshop), an animation school.

So I wrote a small function to prune Django. There's a good chance I'll clean up the code for submission to the django-tagging codebase.

With respects to the people behind sf.net for the good work they've done over the years I feel there are still major issues that are so basic that I simply wouldn't consider sf.net as a place to host my projects.

But it's easy to throw stones at abstract problems - let me be specific. SourceForge devs, here's a few suggestions:

"Remember Me" broken

I'm a developer of jEdit where I take care of Mac-related issues. Being so, I follow the devel-list and at least once a week I visit the tracker to read up on issues. It seems that each time I visit I have to log in. Each time I check "Remember Me" but apparently so with no effect.

Login redirection

Related to the issue about "Remember Me" I am always redirected to "My Personal Page" upon login, not the link I came from or tried to access. This means having to click through several pages and refreshing before I can do whatever I need on the tracker.

Bad performance

I think it's a general complaint with sf.net but I am still bothered by the slow performance of the tracker. I haven't used the new tracker that much - it's certainly a better one but the general performance of the site could still be greatly improved.

If you must change the frontpage, here's a few suggestions to improve the relevance:

Global statistics

Remove them. It may be fun to watch for sf.net devs but really - what's the relevance for users? Users need something they can relate to but the numbers are unfamiliar and can't be compared to anything a regular user or dev know of. The graphical bars still doesn't give a context that seems interesting.

If you really insist on keeping this, make "Popular" the default display.

Recent releases

Consider adding user-engaging information such as "Most recent Project releases" - it would be a helpful and fun way to discover new projects and will give sf.net a feel of "being alive".

Keep "Project of the Month"

This is the primary part of the front page I find relevant.

Rename "Build"

"Build" is not a psychological trigger word for someone looking for a place to host their project. Usability is about user tendency and expectation. The word Build doesn't really say "get your open-source project hosted here for free"... it says get your project built. If the primary product was automated nightly builds, I would use the word "Build" or the like. But this really isn't the core of sf.net, is it?

SourceForge needs to catch up with the tendencies and features around the world. It seems that only recently they've waken up and discovered they are lacking behind. Depending on the preferred source version control system I would prefer Bitbucket.org or Google Code - overall simplicity wins me over regardless of the frontpage.
