Instead of duplicate ods , it can be solved by choosing multiple vbulletin versions. Currently people release same mod with no single change on different sections on board which makes the ranking system in accurate.

While a lot of modifications don't require it; I've been ranting for years about the fact that we need "project webpages" like they have on sourceforge. For anyone that isn't up to speed with what I'm talking about see; http://sourceforge.net/projects/sierra-php/ for an example.

Some key things I've been wanting to see for awhile;

- Ability to upload/host multiple copies of the software. I know this is possible with the current attachment system but I'd like to see something more user friendly (like having them listed by version number).

- Sub-forums for modifications. The main ones we need; Support, Bug reports, General Development.

- Ability to browse a modifications source code before downloading it. Hosting the modifications in a repo system. (I'll get to this in a second).

- Ability to have an "FAQ" on our modification's page.

- A way to update users outside of sending e-mails and editing threads. We need a way to post news about our modifications.

Going back to storing modifications in a repo; It'd be neat if I could download and install modifications directly from my admincp (*hint*).
