In the spirit of building a community instead of building the YellowPages, MonitoringForge encourages interaction and honesty. If you have experience with plugin or project, please contribute your feedback.

All projects are given the opportunity to provide you with feedback tools, although some project owners may choose not to enable every widget.

Here’s a list of the available community communication widgets, and how you can interact with them. Most of these tools require you to login and join the project as a member to permit contribution access. If you aren't logged in, you can still see what others have said.

1. Review It – write your experiences on the project.

2. Rank It – fill in the stars to vote on over-all quality of the item.

3. Ask a Question – here’s your chance to publicly ask the project owner a question, and get an answer for all to see

4. Ideas – think public roadmap entry point – submit your “killer idea” here

5. Downloads – keeps a count of the downloads and all of the available packages. Check out who posted it and if it’s local or remote

6. Screenshots – check out what the application will look like before deployment

7. Share This - let the social web know how you feel.

8. Forums – each project has their own forums to manage knowledge sharing

9. Wiki – similar to forums, it’s a great place to start getting the community to build out training materials or other important communications

10. News – Get information posted by the developers about projects and plugins.

11. Docs – another information management area to keep any type of file.

12. Tracker – Found a bug specific to that project or plugin? Post it here. If you have a bug that is specific to the website, go here.

13. Source – this is the developer repository for source trees.

14. List – a quick snapshot of the project

15. RSS – Subscribe to your favorite feeds.
