Music Forums

The main purpose of the active projects area will be to make open projects visible and searchable, especially those which are in need of collaborators - well that's what we think.

How do you envision this area working? What would you use it for? How should the search features work? How should it be organized? What goes to the top? What goes to the bottom? Etc. etc. You get the idea.

I'm a fan of multiple sorting options: Newest/oldest/most active/ most recent activity...

How about personalising it by the members preferred Genre, so you see what you like and then everyone sees something different. You could also have a 'why don't you listen to/audition for/collaborate with' etc........ then you maybe put things in front of members they wouldn't normally see or try.

Don't forget the old talents required field.

How about a tag cloud? http://everynoise.com/engenremap.html

Wow........it looks like a digitised map of some far flung country made up from just about every musical genre you could imagine. Cool though!
