I got here because the issue at
http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=24324&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Owner%20Summary
was closed for comments but somehow Google wants to keep up the
conversation by directing us here. The last comment said:

> Of course if you have anything to add I welcome you
> all to join the existing thread on our Google Group

What should we add? I think everything has been said but it might be
required to summarize it a little bit.

* The updates page was removed from all projects including the
activity meter.

* Many people complained about that within a few hours.

* Nobody understood the reason why the page has been removed.

* The issue has been starred by more than 300 people which puts it
into the top 5 issues (within 3 days).

* The use case is also very clear: There are many users who want to
see if a project is active or not so that they do not download
software that is badly supported later. And there are many users who
want to see at a single glance what happened in the project to react
to comments etc.

* A few work arounds have been suggested but none can fully replace
the updates page.


In my opinion, everything has been said. I am now waiting to get some
new information from your side (you = Google). If there is anything
that you (Google) want to know, just ask. Otherwise I think it is time
for some well-founded explanations or even better a decision to bring
the old updates page back or a new one.

Best regards!


René
