Jobs section would be good, But a decent search (for whole site) would be better, and a higher priority IMHO - still seeing lots of noobs that cannot find the info they need, and the same jocks making fun of them.

RE Marketplace - Move tags to less obtrusive location - I always feel tags are a good supplement to navigation, but they should not replace it, plus tags are spread out over several pages - this is an epic fail as far as good navigation techniques are concerned.

NAVIGATION SHOULD see more BE ON ONE PAGE!!! Surely you know that Booonex!

Marketplace should also be redesigned to promote the new methods of coding - IE there should be an EXTENSIONS section - where new modules are sold - most mods are little more than hacks to main code - encouraging this practice to stop is a good thing.

Of course hacks still have their place - but they should be located in a separate section - MODS

So to a new / Noob / Non-coder - Go to the extensions section for mods that will not break your site in a upgrade, or if you don't mind getting dirty and hacking your code a bit - go to the mods section.

I would say that there needs to be a decent category layout - obviously a 1000 different ways of doing this, and something that Boonex need to figure out but a good start might be categories for each existing component for the mods section, and perhaps something along the lines of the JED for the extensions section.

And before someone gets stuck up on the semantics of Extensions v's Modules - either will do, but the important thing to consider is that these are modifications that should EXTEND the code - not alter it.

Just my 02c
