If people upload diferent versions of the same project, keeping its name, it replaces the older project on the website. But then they never apear in Recent Projects list again.

On the one hand, it is a good method, since it avoids duplication of diferent versions of the same project, on the other, they loose Visibility.
Perhaps placing them on the Recent List, with an "updated" mark, and allowing to filter them out if the person wants too?

I don't know what the perfect way to handle this case, though. Just food for thought.

i see your point but people could abuse it by repeatedly uploading the same project to get it noticed.

Well, right now it's pretty easy to abuse as well, just rename the project name on the "Share" window.
But I see your point, it would be aluring to do what you said.

Instead, there could be an option on the "Recent Projects" page, to show updated projects as well (I would find it usefull, to keep track of long-term projects people are making). Or perhaps, just a different page for "Updated Projects".

Then again, the entire comunity could work out a specif tag for projects which are being regularly worked on, like "work in progress"?
