I wonder, we are adding more and more filters to search on - can we create an inventory? I am worried about the effectiveness of working on filters used by very few, we ideally have an indication how much each one is used before investing significantly in adding more and more. Given that its in the URL this should be do-able?

During the discussion at the Drupalcon core conversation — I thought about how other personalised "recommendation apps" handle this.

Foursquare uses it's onboarding process to collect some personal data about the user so it can begin making personal recommendations on things to do and places to eat.

We already have a taxonomy field for users that define their areas of expertise, maybe we could leverage these tags to create a personalised stream of issues that have tags that align with the users interests, by mapping them to issue tags. It would be similar to being able to 'follow' a tag but without the need to know that the tag exists.

This is basic information to begin recommending to users, as you continue to use foursquare, it feeds more of your activity into it's recommendation algorithm. We could also start doing the same thing; recommending issues that are followups to issues you have worked on, issues that are being worked on by people you've worked on issues with before, issues that contain changes to code that you've worked on before, and so on.

I'm not sure is this is the proper meta thread, but it's a place to start! This topic is one reason I created ContribKanban.com. I love the way an issue works on Drupal.org, but I'm definitely not in love with the issue queue itself. Finding issues can be difficult and overwhelming. So I went and created http://contribkanban.com/. I'd love to see a way to bring the concepts of kanban boards onto Drupal.org - as an option for project maintainers to enable to change over from the table format. Or even if it was a different area.
