Whats missing from Github

Missing features on Github

After some years enjoying github awesomeness, heres what i miss most. Add your comments :)

Id love to use github for agile project management so issues are very important to me :)

Repositories :

  • Ability to choose a licence type for each project, with auto-generated licence. (see mit-licence.org)
  • Ability to tag my own repositories and tags others too for my own usage
  • A real dashboard, that aggregates activity by tags and projects
  • A project activity indicator based on recents commits, open issues, PR opened/closed ratio...
  • A way to distinguish the most active fork in a project
  • Archive repository (not maintained anymore projects)
  • Add social info for the owner/organisation : twitter/g+/linkedin/speakerdeck...
  • A Google group like or forum about a particular project

Downloads :

Infortunately, downloads have been removed :/

The download page is very basic

  • Ability to rename/add a note to a download (after upload)
  • Dedicated git repo as for the wiki ?
  • Real file browser
  • Drag&Drop files
  • Delete multiples files at once

Issues :

  • Ability to star issues (eg: issues id like to resolve)
  • A way to prioritize issues and sort by priority :)
  • When listing issues by assignee, please add a milestone indicator
  • Prevent page refresh while editing !!
  • Prevent co-editing an issue comment (or version/history it)
  • Prevent editing another author comment/issue
  • Comment re-edition : please : preview mode, emoji/logins completion..
  • Better downloads/file attachments/images for issues
  • Image/File drag'n'drop

About gists :

  • Tagging too
  • Same text editor as github please !
  • Same header as github please :)
  • Something to preview HTML based gists like http://gistview.github.com (from @gozala) or jsfiddle, jsbin...
  • Line anchors !
  • Better gist GIT url clipboard copy
