Clearly Mark Non-Editable Pages
I've been helping with documentation pages and found that some pages appear to be editable, but in fact are off limits.
This seems to be related to Full HTML pages or Auto-generated pages. The pages themselves look like any other page - which is what causes the confusion.
Would the redesign infrastructure team please discuss possible solutions to this that involve a visual queue?
After my hand gets slapped for dinking with a page, I then go beg forgiveness OR
After I try to edit a page I realize I have to go grovel in another issue queue to get someone else to do my dirty work.
Contribution Branches Listing
Could we add a task to clean up existing contribution branches by removing invalid ones
(e.g. DRUPAL-6--1-0 or DRUPAL-4-7--2-0 , and many more).
This assumes we actually have an automated way to generate a list of valid branches - not currently easily done in cvs.
This node is what sparked the issue http://drupal.org/node/97084
thanks,

Read moreIs it a Module or Is it a Project
I'm not sure whom to ask nor where to look for the answer to this question.
I've been working on the doc team and trying to help as best I can.
One thing that I'm concerned about are the terms Projects and Modules which seem to be used interchangeably.
Example: http://drupal.org/project has a link on it to Modules http://drupal.org/project/modules
Yet when you click on the http://drupal.org/project/modules link, you get a page titled 'modules' and the first line says you can get a list of
PROJECTS in alphabetical order.
University of Michigan School of Information Experimental Design with Web Analytics project
Over the next few weeks several students in SI422 will be working with the Drupal project to create and design a web analytics experiment.
The students are aware of the redesign effort and the research that has been done. The will propose a web analytics experiment that includes:
* Hypotheses: These are statements of predicted outcomes that you will be testing, including specific, operationalized variables that would allow you to know whether your test had been confirmed or disproved.

Read moreUpdate 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.

Voting and Reviews in Theme Categorization
As a preface, this discussion goes along with this wiki page over at the Drupal Redesign Group: Improve Theme Categorization
I've been pondering a voting and a review system for the themes for a while now. For many reasons really, but here is my quick conclusion: it won't work the way most voting systems work. Here is why...
Simply put the reason a voting and review system won't work easily is because of change.

Hi,
This week sees the release of iteration 10 in the Drupal redesign prototype.
http://drupal.markboultondesign.com/iteration10
We're currently working with the Drupal Association to further define an advertising strategy for the redesigned d.o. Therefore, we've included a few more ads, but it probably isn't indicative of the final strategy.

The Drupal main web site
The Drupal main web site:
I was wondering if Drupal group can provide a Tab in User profile at this site to list Modules that users are interested in. This will ease the tracking of modules which are actually of users interest.
How Do I set my Group Home Page up to look like that of the Drupal.org Redesign Plan Group?
How do I set my group home page up to look like the Drupal.org redesign plan group home page here:
http://groups.drupal.org/drupalorg-redesign-plan-drupal-association#-0-2
It is amazingly simple and well designed (duh!). Every group in groups.drupal.org should have this as the default option. But, I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks!
Read moreDrupal.org re-design prototype iteration 9
Hi,
After a smaller release last week due to more focus on the IA, this week's iteration has brought with it some important, exciting and rather large developments.
As with previous weeks, Leisa has been providing rationale based on her user testing and the latest posts on the redesign can be read on her site, including the strategy for the documentation section:
Read moreImprove Theme Categorization
As Dries said in a State of the Drupal, "There will be 7 Drupal sites created in the next minute.... 4 of them will look bad" [sic]. The solution is to enable easier theme discovery and better tools for theme developers! If we want new Drupal users not to end up with ugly sites, then we should offer clear, concise options to discover a theme that fits their needs.
Suggestions on ordering the data:
Categories:
Width - fixed or fluid (resolution ?)
Number of Columns - #, adjustable
Search Bar - included/not
what links would *you* put in the 'Develop with Drupal' section on the homepage?
on the current homepage (http://drupal.markboultondesign.com/iteration8/homepage_notloggedin.html) there is a section called 'Develop with Drupal'. This section is targeted at 'outsiders' (those not v familiar with Drupal) who are developers. These people will be evaluating Drupal from more of a technical perspective so we want to point some signposts in here that will take them to content that will impress them and make them excited about the opportunity and potential of using Drupal.
Here are the links that are currently included in this section:
Modules and Themes
Read moreNotes from a new user
I started using Drupal about 90 days ago and wanted to offer my experiences to the redesign group.
To create context:
I have 15 years experience in application development leading large teams, and 10 years experience in web design and development from enterprise class to small business.
I have used all the prominent CMS systems, and I am converting a large website to a multi-site Drupal model. I came to Drupal through CiviCRM when i was researching solutions for fundraising, etc. Currently have about 30 modules installed, experimented with about 40.
