First off, I love Otavo. Great job guys.

I am a brand new Otavo user to please excuse me if this is a repeat request, I tried to look through the forums as best possible before I submitted.

I spent a good couple hours going through all the Otavo quests trying to answer as many as I could, and the one thing I noticed as that there were a lot of duplicate quests such as "Project Management Software" or "Learn Ajax". >>I<< think that in order for Otavo to be REALLY useful it should limit quests to try and be as unique as possible. Perhaps some sort of smart search that when a user submits a new quest it asks them for keywords or maybe picks up the keywords from the title and description and before creating a new quest is searches the existing quests to see if it finds anything similar. If it does it displays it to the user first and asks them if they would rather join the already existing quest or create a new quest, perhaps with an explanation that it is better to have more resources on fewer quests as it pushes it up the "attention" ladder.

Just a thought.

Not sure if it is a new

Not sure if it is a new feature of just me happening to hit on keywords that didn't match before, but it seems as though this feature exists.

Either way... thanks :)

Double signatures eeek!

Fix for that is on the way.

Regarding the duplicate checking, it has always been there but we are continuing to refine the algorithm to be more accurate.
