Off the top of my head, three points of view on such a thing:
Admin;
- good spam prevention (IP banning, lock on keywords, approval of first
post...)
- malware prevention. This could be a trust system (but don't forget
that even trustable persons could have their account hijacked).
Reviewing SCM/PY is easy. Reviewing C is more complex, because we have
to check that the binary is indeed matching the source we review, or we
have to rebuild it (for all platforms...).
- easy user management
Author:
- decent registration procedure
- ease of publication (that goes a bit against security/spam, so a
balance should be found)
- statistics (I'm a sucker for download stats, especially when they show
me that my more popular scripts aren't the ones I think; so far nothing
beats SourceForge...)
- ability to document things easily: formatting with markdown or BBCode,
including support for images. Ability to upload text and images from my
PC (v.s. editing in a web page) is a plus
- communications with users: forum, etc. Mail notification necessary
- ability to share/transmit ownership
- I don't think this system should be a place to maintain/share the
source code. We could however enforce a FOSS/CC discipline and require
the source files to be provided (for some assets, this could mean the
original XCF/SVG file...)
- Human-readable, permanent URL to homepage so that it can be posted on
other sites
User:
- straightforward, no-questions-asked downloads
- easy registration for forums
- semi-anonymous use of forums (guest mode without registration, but
with some more hurdles such as captchas)
- search capabilities
