This could also help alleviate the spam iPhone and Android app posts we've been seeing lately. When prompted to describe their contribution they might be less likely to post when they don't have a contribution.

Sounds like a good idea. It certainly adds a level of complexity to submitting projects, and might encourage more to share their larger pieces of work here. Break way from the "snippet" demographic in a way.

Yes, I'd like for developers to have the freedom to share anything they're working on. I may even do private projects so contributors can collaborate over a project among themselves.

I just had another thought to allow for snippets to be posted to projects. This could be useful for usage and documentation.

Sounds like a good idea to me

I've been giving this some more thought and one consideration is to add a new post method above called "Project Contribution". It will be like a new thread except you'll need to enter the URL to the project. If there is no matching project in our database you'll be prompted to add some additional information about the project before describing your contribution.

Would private projects be accessible from external applications so we'd be able to download and upload files as apart of the project? With this, grant people access to project files for contributions, etc.
