Package search results page package/search

• need clearer delineation between search entry form and results.
• 0 results needs to be clearer, and the alternative suggestion: 'would you like to create a new package' needs to not look like a search result.
• "N tags found" -- why do I care? this should be presented as "filter results by tag" -- very unlikely that I'm looking for a tag: I'm looking for a package, but tags might help me narrow down my search.
• tags should be displayed more like the way they're displayed when you add them to a package (i.e. blue 'tag' background)
• filter out particular tags
• tag cloud?
• copywriting: "Packages - Search" -> "Search packages"

• openness/downloadability ticks/crosses are totally inscrutable to non-techies (those who don't know about the title attribute). need better icons, and a key in a box on RHS.
• maybe highlight two-tick entries with a particular colour, but the open knowledge badge is horrendous, and breaks visual cadence.
• results data should be tabulated, with the project names and descriptions made most prominent. <li> blobs are unnecessary visual noise.
• maybe links should go on the full titles? Get rid of package names.
• Should have filter by name (à la KForge alphanum widget) and also by tag: list of most common tags in box on RHS?
• same comments as search listing (ticket:217)

Package page package/mypackagename

• Design
  • In general: a huge amount of visual and typographic noise: "Package:" is redundant.
  • "{edit}", "{history}" -- ugly, and it's not clear that these are primary actions on this page. Notably, why on earth is "make an enquiry with Is It Open?" bigger than these?
  • Openness/downloadability icons: need help, as discussed earlier
  • "Rating:" redundant, as is the second set of stars -- why can't both the display and rate widget
    • Rating - alternative to GET on set_rating.
  • "Metadata:" technospeak, probably redundant.
  • <li> bullets add nothing.
  • Title, Version, URL can probably go in one line.
  • Resources can be made more prominent.
  • Author, author email and Maintainer, maintainer email can be merged.
  • Groups, tags in little boxes?
  • Notes made more delineated -- Markdown has the capacity to look like other parts of the page: perhaps monospace the typeface?
  • Don't show extras unless there are any.
