Hi Dan, Well, as far as features, the Orkut directory currently does not even have aliasing, as reported by Jason a few days ago: http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-orkut/browse_thread/thread/908235bfa44741b4/ecde8dad37e90893?lnk=gst&pli=1 I would agree though that this would address the problem of ranking, rating and comment loss of the iGoogle directory, ha! ;-)
Joke aside, as the gadget directory has been an area where the developer community has always been reporting issues, shortcomings, etc. I think it would be useful to start a forum where we could provide some input on what features are important to us, and where we would suggest what should work in a different way compared as today.
