[Phpmyadmin-devel] User reviews at Sourceforge

[Isaac Bennetch]

Hi,

I see that we've gotten quite a number of positive reviews in the 
relatively new voting feature at Sourceforge[1]. I was looking over the 
"Thumbs Down" votes to see what the user complaints are an a vast 
majority of them relate to the poor download process provided by SF. 
Mirrors not working or being outdated, long delays redirecting to a 
mirror, broken links, etc -- is there any way we can improve this 
process? Some projects provide a direct link to one of the mirrors as a 
second option to the normal download link, though I don't know if SF 
allows that in this case. Perhaps Sourceforge needs to be notified of 
the problems people are encountering and nagged until it's fixed. I 
don't know what's best, I'm just asking.

But really, the percentage of happy users is extremely high, kudos to 
the team!
