Improving mloss.org

Posted by Soeren Sonnenburg on December 16, 2011

Meeting Cheng at NIPS we had a discussion on how to improve user experience of mloss.org. So I got my hands dirty and fixed a few minor issues on mloss.org:

A long standing feature request was that software that once appeared in JMLR will continue to be tagged published in JMLR and be highlighted. This should now be the case.

In addition, I again did limit the automagic pulling of r-cran packages to now happen once / month only. This should give manually updated software a higher visibility again.

If you have suggestions for improvements and don't mind to code a little python mloss.org's source code is now availabe on github. In particular, if you'd like to attempt to improve the R-CRAN slurper it's code is here.
