- think about behavior of "all" languages
- allow author and admin to change the language
Tags
- smaller size of fonts
- use "bold" and "normal" text style
- uniform spelling: do not use "tags" AND "keywords" in the same context
- show the tags (keywords) by upload
- allow the change, add and/or remove tags
- allow seperation by ";"
- auto completion of tags to avoid so many similar words
- auto correction of spelling
Search
- search by tags
- search by author
- search by date (latest, 1-3 days, 1-3 weeks, 1-3 months, etc.)
- propose similar existing words
- auto seach: save search request and provide the results at "MyFavorites"
Most Wanted
- sort by date
- sort by language
- collect spelling mistakes in one word
- allow clustering of words (by tags?) but save the original word
- provide "Most Wanted" online, specially for authors
My Favorites
First design proposal for MFT (My Favorite Templates)
- favor a template
- create own tags for templates
- collection folder(s)
- save, send or zip my collection(s)
- favor an author
- show my search results (e.g. latest templates with tag xy and yxx)
- for authors: see how many users love my templates
- for authors: see who users love my templates
- for authors: most wanted templates (e.g. of the week)
Done
