To participate:
- Review the list of submitted proposals and "vote up" and/or comment on ones that speak to you.
- If you don't see your idea reflected, propose your own ideas using the idea template.
- While we want to hear about everything that's on your mind, we're especially interested in small, but impactful ideas.
- Proposals are wiki pages, so feel free to provide additional details in other peoples' proposals; think of them as "issue summaries" for ideas, so keep them neutral.
Voting/feedback will considered until 00:00 GMT on September 6, 2013, in order to give us ample time to make a proposal (which the results here will be a part of) for the Drupal Association Board Retreat prior to DrupalCon Prague. Thanks for participating!
Jobs section
What's your idea?
Currently jobs are being published on g.d.o, all over the place, and it’s not useful for anyone. We need a specific section for job postings on D.o, in the Marketplace. With possibility to filter jobs, subscribe to specific type of jobs etc.
What are the benefits?
Dedicated place for people to post job announcement and look for Drupal jobs. Close to Drupal services listing. Better user experience than g.d.o/jobs. Potential revenue source, which will help make Drupal.org sustainable.
What are the risks?
Read morePrevent duplicate postings (for issue queue, forums, etc.)
What's your idea?
Automated system which suggest already existing similar posts when you are entering the title of new post. An alternate approach would be to improve Drupal.org search so that people could find related posts before creating a new one.
What are the benefits?
There are lots of duplicates everywhere: issue queues, forums. This will be a huge improvement and also a must-have for dedicated support system if we were to create one on Drupal.org
What are the risks?
Read moreA proper UX strategy
What's your idea?
The community is doing an amazing work maintaining, improving and adding to the *.d.o infrastructure. But it is very much feature focused and where features often are looked at and implemented in isolation and from a technical point of view.
*.d.o has, according to https://drupal.org/home, a cool million users. To provide a great UX for all of them and where they can focus on getting things done is without a doubt a challenge. A challenge I feel isn't really being taken completely serious.

What should Drupal.org be in 2017?
This is not a proposal, but I'm going to break protocol here for a second because I'm genuinely curious to dig into something. This is just a thought exercise, not going to necessarily drive the roadmap one way or the other. But...
Read moreOpt-in Release Management Scheme for Contrib
What's your idea?
Lets put a good looking badge on project pages who's maintainers are doing a stellar job with release management. They need to be given the cred they deserve and users will be able to find their projects more easily too.
The #D7CX pledge, http://cyrve.com/d7cx, for modules to be ready for Drupal 7 was quite a success in the sense that a lot of contrib maintainers signed up to it. Unfortunately only a fraction of those projects where ready when Drupal 7 launched, despite the long delay.
Read moreMake Drupal.org more SEO friendly
Last updated by bryanbraun on Fri, 2013-08-30 19:07
What's your idea?
We can make Drupal more SEO friendly by converting the URL of drupal.org, like - https://drupal.org/node/53933 to https://drupal.org/drupal-theme-problem. We can implement this by using Pathauto module and transferring all number URL to understandable URL.
It is found that when we search drupal issue in google, some other website are come first than Drupal.org.
What are the benefits?
- We will come to drupal.org for Drupal related problem and not go to other websites.
- Increased participation in Drupal forums
Topic pages
What's your idea?
'Topic' page aggregates all activity across d.o, which was tagged with this specific topic. For more information see: https://groups.drupal.org/node/144584
What are the benefits?
- a way for people to identify their expertise
- a way to aggregate content of interest to that topic from across Drupal.org
- a way to see what is happening around specific topic right now, where and who is active
Design and development of a new generation of testing infrastructure
What's your idea?
On October 18th, 2007, Chad (hummonk) Phillips made an initial commit to the ‘Project Issue File Test’ module, with the description “initial commit of an integrated file testing platform for project issue module”. This kicked off the pursuit of automated testing integration between drupal.org and qa.d.o (then referred to as test.drupal.org). In 2009, Jimmy (boombatower) Berry performed a significant overhaul and redesign of the system, introducing a number of structural and architectural changes.
Read moreIRC Integration
What's your idea?
Create an IRC client to be used on Drupal.org, giving users the ability to participate on IRC directly on Drupal.org.
What are the benefits?
Opens up IRC to users who may not know how to access IRC, or even know that it exists. We could maybe set up a way of syncing Drupal.org usernames with IRC.
What are the risks?
Overrun of users on IRC channels.
How can we measure the impact of this idea? (metrics)
Analytics on the embedded chat page.
Who directly benefits from / will use this improvement? (target audiences)
Read moreExpose project 'shortname' for sandboxes, and use during validation to search for similar modules.
What's your idea?
Currently, projects get assigned their final namespace during the 'promote to full project' operation.
This proposal suggests that the 'shortname' field be exposed on sandbox projects, where it be made editable by the project owner but read-only to all other users. Validation logic on this field would ensure that the chosen shortname does not conflict with any previously established "full" projects, and could potentially also warn users about namespace conflicts with other sandbox projects (but still allow the field to be saved).
Read moreImprove issue management interface
What's your idea?
Move issue management tasks from comments to the issue summary and (optionally) make them editable in-line. Add a "last-update" widget to the issue metadata area that contains "revision-like" information about who/what/when/why the metadata was changed.

Read moreSeparate D.O. into "Marketing/Brochure" and "Project/Collab" sites and Dogfood them with Drupal Major/Minor versions
Last updated by dustin@pi on Thu, 2013-09-12 22:31
What's your idea?
*.Drupal.org be split into the "marketing sites" (drupal planet, main landing pages, association pages, etc) and the "Project Infrastructure" sites (projects, groups, etc) and have the marketing sites line up with the major versions (say 9.0.0) and the infrastructure sites line up with a significant minor version (say 9.2.0).

DSWG: 2014 roadmap and what we've learnt from community ideation process
About a month ago the Drupal.org Software Working Group announced that we were seeking community input to help us craft a short-term Drupal.org roadmap for the beginning of 2014.
Read moreLet module maintainers maintain the "Related projects" block
What's your idea?
All module maintainers to define related projects on projects.
Use this data to populate the "Related projects" block using these and any back links from other projects "Related projects" fields grouped by # references and order # ref descending.
If none found, then fallback to the automated one.
What are the benefits?
To actually make this block useful.
Two existing examples that show the maintainers suggestions beside the related projects block.
Menu Node API - https://drupal.org/project/menu_node
Read moreSignups TAB = Attendies or Registered?
What's your idea?
Changing the Tab names or Moving the sign up button on Top?
What are the benefits?
At first glance if i want to sign up i click the TAB believing it to be a link to sign up.
And seeing there's no sign up button in the "Sign Ups" Tab i figured it's a closed event and move on.
What are the risks?
NONE clearer understanding on how the tab works.
How can we measure the impact of this idea? (metrics)
Non-Drupal users ease of sign up and want to skip reading the details.
