1) You can set up your profile, specifying whether you are proficient in various fields, and whether you are available for work. I would have liked to see this more detailed. "Proficiency" is not just a yes/no issue. I ticked three boxes, for example, where I consider myself fairly proficient in two cases, and a top-notch expert in one - however, there was no way for me to indicate this. Second, I would be willing and available for work in some of the categories, but less so in others - however, there is only a single yes/no to indicate availability.
2) Related to the above, there were a few additional proficiency categories I would have liked to see - "testing", for example. Larger projects are going to need people testing them, but currently you cannot even indicate a willingness to work as a tester for community projects.
3) Project information and status. I did not see a way to set the development status of a project ("Design phase", "Inactive", "Completed" and so on). I would for example like to be able to search only through "completed" projects.
4) Project type classification. You can select the project type from a few categories, but I feel those categories are too broad, and several expected categories were just missing. It would also help if you were able to specify a number of keywords for each project and of course the project search should be updated to handle keyword search as well. This is not a big deal while you have only a few projects, but better searching is needed once you have hundreds of projects.
I think they are all great and should really benefit the site.
