How does one request a Feature Request for the Galaxy site?

I’d like some additional information on Role Statistics

- Download count
- Last Updated Date/Actively Maintained

Also better search capabilities would be nice, if I search for a term, pull up related Roles

Example:

fqdn or fully qualified domain name might return Roles for

- Apache
- DNS
- Etc…

Thanks,  
–Pafford

Currently, send me a note. 🙂

All of these features are being tracked internally, waiting for us to  
hire a Galaxy Engineer to work on them full time. (We're close on this  
one, so sit tight.)

The Atom editor packages site does a reasonable job ([https://atom.io/packages/search?q=ansible](https://atom.io/packages/search?q=ansible)).

Usage counts is a fair way to measure how good a package is without relying on community scoring - similar to Ubuntu’s Popularity Contest ([http://popcon.ubuntu.com](http://popcon.ubuntu.com))
