[QUOTE="4ga, post: 147022, member: 19317"] Personally I like the website just fine. I look at a quite a few open source projects from time to time (mostly for work), and generally most of the websites are horrible. Generally there are a few things I look for when looking at a new project: A summation of the project on the first page, what does it do, what are the projects goals. Screen shots, a picture is worth 1000 words, does it look easy to use, does it look like what I want. User forums, is there an active user community, or am I on my own. If it pass all this I will probably download it and give it a try, nice to have an easy direct link, and decent installer is a definite plus. As for Mediaportal it meets all these criteria, only thing I would say would be nice to have a direct link to the forum from the front page (ok so I need to add a bookmark, just too slack) and too bad can't get [url]www.mediaportal.com[/url] (had to google for the site first 3 month of using it). I guess I'm a bit of a computer geek so maybe I look for different things than the average end user, but yeah MP website rates well with me. another of my fav open source projects, that I think has a good website is: [url]http://cacti.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
