New features released: project settings, embeddable widgets and more

We’ve been working on a lot of improvements and new features and now we can proudly say: Done! So, here’s what’s new:

Project settings

These new settings add more flexibility, so that any open-source project, no matter what philosophy, can use OpenVersion.

Allow sponsorship on project?

You can accept sponsorships or just allow voting. If you choose not to receive sponsorships, all the “Sponsor” buttons disappear, and you get only the voting functionality.

Allow users to propose new features?

Choose if you want users to propose ideas or just vote and discuss ideas already defined by the project owner.

Embeddable widgets

Add a widget with the most popular features proposed for a project, so visitors can vote for the features they want in the next version.

2 new development statuses: ‘Planned’ and ‘Rejected’

We hope these new statuses will come very handy.

The looks

We made a lot of changes to the layout of the website. It should be easier to click around and understand where you are. Plus, things like search should be more handy now.

Any ideas for the next version?
