Drupal.org Software Working Group

I've been going through the Drupal.org Customizations list.

Realized with many of the changes it would to be able to evaluate with some sort of AB testing.

It would be really good to have measurable results for various changes so that we can actually test what the impact of the is.

We could use one of these modules:
https://drupal.org/project/abtest
https://drupal.org/project/multivariate

Overview

The Drupal.org Software Working Group (drumm, eliza411, tvn, webchick) was chartered to provide vision and direction for Drupal.org by working with the community on Drupal.org software in a number of ways. The first duty on our list is establishing team leadership.

From the charter:
(DSWG) Creates and removes teams for each major area of the Drupal.org websites, which have authority to make software and feature decisions within their scope. The DSWG defines and appoints the leadership roles within each team, such as a technical lead, product owner, QA lead, etc.

Back in summer the Drupal.org Software Working Group formulated a number of priorities for us for this year. One of them was - improving development process on Drupal.org. As everyone would probably agree, the current process is inefficient. It is hard to know what is the best place to suggest an idea. It’s not clear who can decide if an idea is good and should indeed be implemented. The process of getting your change deployed on production is not clear.

UPDATE: Drupal.org Developer Tools Leadership team announced https://groups.drupal.org/node/403203.
