Installing Drush 7.0-dev on a shared hosting server [documentation + cry for help]
Hi Everyone,
I was getting ready to develop a new, responsive theme for my portfolio site/tech blog and thought I would jump right in with building an Omega sub-theme as I had before. I discovered, though, that all the cool kids are using Omega 4 and that Omega 4 relied on the latest version of Drush to do its magic of building sub-themes from the command line.

Redesigned Drupal.org profile page: your feedback needed!
Hi everyone! We're in the process of redesigning the profile page on Drupal.org, and we need the community's feedback! You can find the issue at: https://www.drupal.org/node/2281763.
Specific feedback needed:
- Assuming that we're keeping the current theme, does the organization of information make sense on the page?
- Is there any new information we should be collecting on profiles? Since this will require refactoring several of the data elements in profiles, we have a great opportunity to allow users to show/share more about themselves.
