Drupal.org has 720 000 unique visitors per month. The Drupal.org front page is viewed 1 Million times per month with 16% of pages as exits.
Drupal does not have a show case to show off our best examples from the front page. Videos of showcase sites could help to demonstrate the power of Drupal. Many Drupal service providers complain that their clients are not impressed when they come to Drupal.org.
Drupal.org does not have a workflow that leads to empowering users to take advantage of the community.
* We do not encourage users to sign-up for a Drupal.org account
* We don't recommend where they can get good Drupal hosting
* We do not encourage them to sign up for the security list
* We don't show where they can get support for using Drupal
* We don't tell them where they can get paid support
* We don't introduce them to our documentation
* We don't inform them about books, training being available
* We do not let them know about events coming up in their area
Some of these aspects are in the site navigation, but we don't have a funnel that drives users to get the support they need in order to make use of Drupal. As a result, we are probably letting many Drupal users who might have become part of the community slip away.
GOAL:
* Convert more users to user Drupal.org
* Create a positive user experience for users looking to evaluate using Drupal
