Well specifically for maps/projects ignoring the rest for time being.
It would be best for everyone if as many people as possible looked at at each map/project thread. Ideally less sections would be a positive thing for everyone.
Project Workplace = Mostly work in progress (you could even say a log of what you are working on for the map etc.)
Map Feedback = only work that is (almost) out of alpha stage. (so basically asking players to find the bugs that you have missed)
another difference is that projects in Project Workplace do not always request feedback, but are more of a showcase of this is what I've made. while Map Feedback is specifically focused at "I've created this and what do you think can be improved?"
Ok maps from the Project Workspace get mentioned in Map Feedback, because they have reached the point where feedback is needed.
But what you say could also load to: Project Workspace and the Maps section should be merged since they both contain the same information.
which are also 2 different things. Maps section is the location where you can upload the maps you've made, but until you've reached the point where other people can play around in your map you would only have the Project Workspace available. Also the Project Workspace is more publicly visible compared to the Maps section.
The problem with what you're saying is that which ever section you make a thread in you're going to get less audience. Whatever stage your map is in, you want as many people as possible to click on your thread and have a look.
People can see what stage a project is in simply by reading the thread and giving the appropriate feedback.
Merge the Map Feedback and Project Development PLEASE. They seem to be pretty much be used for the same purpose? I.e. For members of the community to advertise their map and get some replies.
I believe would be beneficial to the community and lead to just 3 basic project/map sections all together near the top of the page:
Review - Bringing peoples attention to maps you've found online.
Feedback - Introducing you're new or existing project in whatever state of form it is to the community.
Teams - Gathering people together or putting yourself forward for a team.
Thus not fragmenting/splitting the community between some browsing down there and some up here?
Would that be better?
