So, many folks are wondering where things are with the Dojo 2.0 initiative, especially after DrupalCon. I haven't posted any March next steps because the roadmap is changing a bit now. I actually did not get to attend the Dojo BoF at DrupalCon due to a scheduling conflict (I was presenting at the time) so I'll leave the details to others. I just wanted to answer some growing questions about "What's up?"
The big news is that g.d.o is going to be implementing some cool new changes that will allow us to customize our group home much better. We'll be able to have sections with some actually organization of content! Josh has been working with Moshe on that so I'm sure he has plenty more to say. What this means is that we will be able to keep the dynamic and community content of the Dojo here, rather than needing to move off to our other site. This is a big win in a few ways: no need for yet another password, keeping info centralized, etc.
Whoa, what does that mean for drupaldojo.com? Well it means that we can trim down the scope of what dd.com needs to be for us. We are going to redirect our efforts to make it a nice, trim, sexy, easy-to-use video library. The idea is to do all the work and talk on g.d.o and then organize the output of all that (videos) on the dd.com site in a way that makes it easy to find and search. There was quite a bit done on the "old" Dojo 2.0 but most of it was planning (we don't even have wireframes yet) and the server side stuff (like SVN) can still be used so that work is not all for naught. We are simply going to trim it down and redirect some energy, which will end up being better for everyone involved.
Also note that the work we have been doing on getting the video production stuff together is still very needed and plenty still to be done there.
So that's how I understand it from the folks I've talked with and hopefully some of this will fill out some in the comments (and the Dojo issue queue!)
Also on another note, my schedule will be ramping up for the next few months so I will not be able to be as active in the Dojo generally and on the website redesign specifically. I will definitely pop in as much as I can and I'm pretty excited about what the new Dojo g.d.o home can be like!
