Its clearly apparent that finding a "modification" is not an easy process for a variety of reasons.

On the front end we need a page where users can drill down and find mods based on whatever criteria is relevent to them.

File Edits: yes/no
Template edits: yes/no
Files to upload: yes/no
DB changes: yes/no
VB Version: [#]
Drill down box to whether its an admin option, a front end feature enhancement or a full enhancement like a gallery or cms

Now that users can find the mods they want, how can we make the experience better?

* bug tracker for mods
* a "box" where users in the community can verify that a mod works with specific vb versions
* a "box" where users in the community can post a FAQ that links back to an answer.

Next up, we need a disclaimer when users are registering. Nothing to long or they wont read it but something that will get the basic point across that most mods are created by people for use on thier own site and contributed as a benefit to the community and that if they are looking for the next "myspace" or "utube" they may need to learn how to code themselves.

Onto other matters.

Service Requests -- alot of people complain that they never get filled... obviously thats because not everyone wants to commit the time for developing a super complex script for free which is understable. As a community however, we should be active and try to offer alternate solutions on how to accomplish the same thing or in the worst case, just say that this is a complicated hack and that they may want to learn how to code it themselves with some guidance from those of us with more coding experience. Its thier project though, they are running with it.

I think thats it for the moment.
