Listening session with Stacy at DrupalCon pittsburgh

My first thought is that the word "Project", in this initiative's title, would be confusing to me if I were brand new to Drupal. I would be think of my own work as a project, and of things I might add to my Drupal site-in-progress as extensions, or other equivalent terms: add-ons, modules, plugins.

When using the browser, the categories and filters look great, but I did not find one more piece of information I wanted: an indicator of when this a particular project was last updated, or how often it gets updated. Its status might be "Maintained" but the last actual release was two or more years ago - that's not a module I want to look at. Maybe that filter is already there but I'm just not seeing it.

UX comment: I just used Project Browser to install my very first module. As a site builder I know what to do next. How would a Drupal newbie find out what to do next? My sample module is GoogleTagManager, so its next step would be go to its config page ( /admin/config/services/google-tag ) and adjust settings. The project page on drupal.org does not provide this info in a very direct way. How could "next steps" be shown in Project Browser? (Guess I'm kind of brainstorming here - how can we help newbies more?)

As a person already familiar with Drupal, I know I can go to the main Extend menu to see options listed below the module, such as Help, Configure, Permissions. Can options like these be visible in Project Browser?
