Overall Stats & Homepage formation.

I've uploaded a WordPress plugin to Codester. Now I'm totally clueless about the turnaround period. or It is somewhere I couldn't find. Here are my few suggestions that can be implemented.

-- Overall turnaround duration for each category.
-- Overall sales stat of marketplace sales. Each item sales would be nice too but you guys are on firm side about supporting new items which I find interesting too. Perhaps including author and marketplace sales stat could help developer get confidence on getting their item upload on Codester.
-- May be more aggressive marketing of Codester helps reach more audience.
-- Re-ordering the sections in the homepage can also bring much impact. I think it would be great if the sections are in the following order.
1. Featured Items
2. Latest Releases ( Categorized )
3. Items on Sale ( can be on no. 2 or 3 )
4. Blog
5. Free files

Hi,

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
What turnaround period do you mean?

Also how can an item be featured?

The average time it takes for an item to get reviewed is 1-2 business days.
Featured items are selected by Codester staff. The only way to get an item featured is currently by making a great product.

Actually I don't see any other staffs beside you. Been following several threads, couldn't see other replying to any of the thread.. Perhaps adding more community staffs/moderators could prove to beneficial. Are there any parameters set to pick featured items ?

We have a handful of people working for Codester at the moment. For reviewing, marketing etc.
Is there any speficic reason why we would need more moderators?

Featured items are selected on quality and of course they should have an interested target-audience on Codester.

Reason:::
-- Obviously user doesn't have to wait longer to get some simple replies..
-- Only one people is replying to forum threads shows that only you're handling everything means user might not get support on time.
-- Can filter the quality of posts.
If authors/users are given some kinda post, s/he will get notifications and and if its their zone of comfort one can certainly help. ( Power of Post ) :P
