Update on Drupal.org redesign infrastructure
Here's a quick update on the Drupal.org redesign infrastructure. The first drupal.org site to be upgraded to Drupal 6 will be the Drupal association site. We are doing this for a couple of reasons. First, we want to a small project to test out our new collaboration infrastructure: VMs, Database, SVN, Access Control to allow more people to work on the upgrade. Second, upgrading association.drupal.org will allow us to upgrade to CiviCRM 2.1 and help with fund raising. The association will be dropping case tracker module so that we can upgrade to Drupal 6.
John Forsythe from Drupalmodules.com has taken on the task of upgrading the existing Blueberry theme on association.drupal.org to Drupal 6. If you are interested in getting the upgrade process moving along, we could do with some help reviewing the newly upgraded theme and testing it out. Please let me or John know you are available and we will grant you access to the private SVN for managing Drupal.org themes.
Neil and Narayan are working on provisioning an updated virtual machine and creating new databases for the staging sits for association.drupal.org and api.drupal.org. See Grant DB access for new shell.drupal.org, and Create scratch databases for association and api.
I'm up for helping on this
I can run the theme through its paces a bit, so please let me know about access.

Bigger picture
Are there longer term, meta things that non devs can do?
For instance, I'm in particular thinking about module selection / review for needed functionality. One of the discussions I was very interested in was the ability to award "cheers" to foster different kinds of (good) community interaction, as well as to directly highlight particularly non-code contributors.
I just was looking at the Kudos module.
Anyway, that's very specific -- shall we start a wiki page with requirements and suggested modules to meet them per site?
sounds good
We could probably do this per site, then if necessary start spin-off threads for specific slices of functionality as well. Would be good to keep up the momentum.

Actually, API is the first
Actually, API is the first subsite to get upgraded, and it is ready to test.
The blockers on the Association site are now:
Next up on my list is the infrastructure.drupal.org site. It does not do a whole lot, but we did add the export_users_dbm module for SVN access, and it needs to be upgraded to Drupal 6.
