Design for Drupal is about bringing the community of designers together to be a part of the Drupal community. It’s about enabling designers and themers to do great stuff, coordinate efforts, come up with crazy ideas, and build a movement to make Drupal beautiful.

All New CSS coding standards up for discussion!
Over 4 years ago, Alan Burke noticed that Drupal didn't have any CSS coding standards. He asked the documentation team lead at the time, Addison Berry, for advice and she suggested that if they wrote the first draft of the CSS coding standards, that would get the ball rolling on discussing them. The goal being to write, iterate and come to consensus on Drupal’s coding standards. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/14421 for the original discussion.
Unfortunately, its 4 years later and the CSS coding standards are still marked “Draft”. http://drupal.org/node/302199

Year end Drupal 8 Mobile Initiative Status
Hi all,
Last week's meeting was cancelled because I was sick and this week's meeting is, unfortunately, going to be cancelled too as I'll be attending a funeral back in the US. (I live in Taiwan.)
But, we will be revving things up to 11 the first week in January with 2 world-wide meetings (1 for US/Europe/Africa and 1 for India/Asia/Pacific). We'll be finishing up making all the admin forms work on mobile and REWRITING ALL THE CSS IN CORE. Stay tuned for details.
And have a happy holidays!

Frontend Drupal Meetup at Filter Digital in Culver City, CA, and via WebEx on October 30, 2012
We're excited to announce our next Frontend Drupal meetup! This time we're meeting at Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency in Culver City, on the 5th Tuesday of the month between 7-9pm on October 30, 2012. This meetup focuses on design, usability, accessibility and theming, and as part of the Design 4 Drupal movement is about inviting the larger design community to become a part of the Drupal community.
Our meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. As always, we'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks.
We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:00pm.

Why is this so difficult? How to display a menu in a template file?
Is someone willing to make a definitive writeup of this? If you want to sit down and work together on this just let me know, and I'll help where I can.
I see so many parts of code snippets, and comments that it worked as well as comments that it didn't work, that I can't make heads or tails out of how it is supposed to be done.
Please if you post something try to be as clear and complete as possible so that people can understand, or maybe it is just me?
From what I gather:
