Yes, please! I would also be happy with just being able to create groups on the repositories tab. Nothing fancy, just being able to say: "Hey, these are my old WordPress plugins; these are my esoteric projects etc."

It says it's 100% open-source, but I can't seem to find the sources for the Jasper platform (not the Jasper client). Even the "compile Jasper from scratch" installation method involves downloading some binaries: http:&#

Yeah, I also got random MEPs. Resorted to clicking "choose another" until I found someone from my home country. A simple list with email address and country of origin would have been more usable.
