I'm using the feedback Cor gave some month ago.
The most effort is done under the hood, because the whole addon is newly
developed from scratch using a new content type framework.
The contributor could (once he has an account) follow one link to create
a new project and it's easy to add a release with about currently up to
five files to it.

The new site will send messages to the contributor once the status of
the project changes (e.g. from submitted for publication to published).
Also there is a messaging implemented for adding a project. This helps
to review and publish a project in time.

The user of the site will get a list of projects by rating and another
one with the newest projects.
Another suggestion?
> - a beautiful theme/CSS. 
As already described I added only a rudimentary design (css) (no real
theme yet).
I want to finish the content first and work on the theme afterwards. I
hope to get some support from css-artists for that work ;-)
The theme should be developed by using Diazo framework. That would make
it easy for webdesigner, because they don't need to know anything about
the Plone CMS (they could concentrate on CSS only) ;-)

That's true for the theme topic ;-)

Thanks. And I'm looking for some feedback.

Andreas
