See also the following points:

   1. The overview page has "projects" in the breadcrumb, "projects" in the title and "projects" right below the title. Needs simplification/clean-up. In fact, wherever you go, the breadcrumbs are pretty messed up.
   2. What does "all" mean? If it is means that the list of projects is sorted alphabetically, I'd rename the tab. The tabs are really: 'browse by date', 'browse by category', and 'browse by name'. The names are easier and denote actions.
   3. The "recent"-tab did not live up my expectations as a user: I expected to see things like "updated x hours ago". A clear indication showing me how recent the update is.
   4. The "category"-tab repeats the title: the "Category:" is redundant.
   5. The "category"-tab shows an overview of the available categories; this overview is ugly. I suggest to use itemized lists. It might also be useful to show the number of projects in a category.
   6. The "category"-tab shows an overview of the available categories; the links should use clean URLs. Can you get rid of ?tid=x?
   7. The "Modules"-block doesn't make sense to me (eg. when on ?q=project/Themes/categories): the block seems to come and go depending on where you are. Furthermore, it is hard to understand the block's structure. I vote for removing it.

've been looking at an alternative to the long list of links at the bottom of project nodes. A lot of them seem to be linking to the same or similar pages:

out of 18 possible links that I saw:
5 linked to the issues page
2 linked to the issues submission page
2 linked to a list of releases
1 was an irrelevent link to a forum that probably doesn't exist on most installations.

for me the important thing is to be able to quickly find the issues page and the list of alternative releases, so I've tried putting them as tabs at the top. The list of links can then be shortened to a few relevent ones.

My work in progress can be seen here:

There's still a lot of code tidying to do but you can see what I'm trying to do.
