any plans to fix it?

it appears that only the head cvs branch is indexed, not the other branches. this is unfair for people who work exclusively on branches.

automated account creation should be prevented - whether by requiring an invitation, captcha, or a manual approval.

there should be a way to mark forum posts as spam. spammers should be permanently banned. there should not be a way to create an account without an invitation.

if both "Title" and "Describe your contributions" is filled in, only "title" is actually shown. why?

"the more the merrier" is an illusion. many tags obscure the view and confuse the searcher. there should be a canonical name for each tag, with plenty of synonyms and a brief description. e.g. ... [More] "interpreter - programs that run scripts". "interpreted - written in an interpreted language". tag searches should match both tag names and synonyms - and, optionally, the description too. adding a tag or a tag synonym should be semi-automatic: one requests a tag or a synonym by filling out a form, which then collects votes and comments, and if the vote passes and there are no conflicts with existing tags and synonyms, the tag is created.

what is the difference between these tags: mathematics, math and maths script and scripting interpreter and interpreters science and scientific should they not be merged?

I think generated files shouldn't be in source control anyway. let us not confuse normative and positive issues.

note another usage: ignoring generated files: configure:NULL

the right way to disambiguate between C & C++, is, IMO, to allow per-project maps from file types to languages, similar to the current "Contributor Aliases" project feature. E.g., a project would ... [More] specify that "*.c" files are actually "C++" &c. see also this forum [Less]
