drupal.org redesign

Hi All,

The redesign has made great progress over recent weeks and we would really like to share this with you!

Below is a link to the latest iteration of the redesign prototype. Please take the time to look through the pages and feedback your thoughts and ideas in this thread.

We also welcome comments on the initial design and visuals, and as with previous weeks, all posts here will be read and fed back into the redesign process

I would like to raise a discussion about the prospect of the Drupal community using a system that allows collective design, funding and development of any Drupal project.

Think about it this way: if the Knight Drupal Initative is the Google summer of code for Drupal, what I'm proposing is a Google year of code for Drupal, only there is no single entity such as Google or DKI funding projects, the funds come from community. My partner and I have already implemented a solution that makes that possible (www.fossfactory.org). I would like to hear from you about how suitable this model is for the Drupal community at large.

Drupal.org will see a huge overhaul one day - at least I hope so. Always having an eye for the competition may help. Interfacewise one can always look what Joomla does. http://extensions.joomla.org

I gotta say - it is so simple to present a lot of content in a still manageable way. Four Columns with Categories, two blocks with newest and most popular modules on top, and here you go. Could be a sample for other pages as well. I'm thinking of access control page and modules page in the drupal admin section.
