The project module has been undergoing a major redesign for the last couple of years, and it's currently waiting on Views 2 for Drupal 6. Once Drupal.org can be upgraded to Drupal 6, we will be able to do significant changes on Drupal.org including Internationalization, Single-sign with OpenID, improvements to documentation with Book module improvement, more use of CCK for collecting information, anonymous commenting to allow for more participation, better polls so we can solicit community feedback on topics, better forums to support other content types, and new menu system that will give more options for navigation and information architecture design.
Please help by downloading Views 2 Beta 1 and providing the views team with help.
