One of my favorite aspects of DPChallenge is the side challenges, but I find it hard to keep track of the side challenges that I'm in much less what other side challenges are doing. I would love to have a tighter integration of these "communities". For example, in the b/w for a week side challenge is it getting hard to keep track of which photos that I need to comment on or whether or not I've missed one that is buried somewhere in the thread. I can't even imagine how difficult it will be later on in the year..I would also like to know how many photos in my particular challenge that I have commented on. That would allow me to set some goals..like comment on 50% of all photos, etc. It would be nice to have some built in functionality to keep track of them.

Also with all these tournaments and stuff popping up it would be nice to have some site integration with them. I'm curious how the Enzo tourney, LoD, Olympics, Free study challenge, etc are fairing, but it is tedious to try and follow them. Some have nice brackets, others have cool spreadsheets and some are just in threads which makes it hard for the "fan" to follow.

Or we could just get DPL up and running :)

Anyway, I know I haven't offered any solutions, but I just wanted to throw it out there for smarter folks to ponder.

Mighty sound suggestions - I second the motion. Perhaps have a side challenge dashboard page, like we have if we select "Challenges" on the menu.

a) Perhaps a third categorization option in the portfolio page for (Side Challenge)
b) Coordinators of the Side Challenges submit the proposed side challenge topic name to the admins who add the grouping to the Browse Gallery Page.
c) We'd need some kind of option to create a sub-preference/favorites page by selecting challenges. This page would list check marks to select all side challenges to display/watch and provide a link to that personalized portal to side challenges/commenting and tracking.
d) Perhaps an option like the voting tool to display images that I have not commented on/have commented on, maybe even the voting tool as well to give the photog an idea of what we might have ranked a photo in a challenge, but no tally function.

ETC: Readability

Yes, anything would help.

I like the idea of having a "side challenges" pulldown menu or even a secondary menu branching off the Challenges menu. All of Arcanist's suggestions look great too...especially d. I realize programming would be required for these changes and I would rank them lower than other site updates that are in the works already(especially leagues) but in dream DPC world.....
