Make drupal.org maintainable via more automated tests and better staging environments

What's your idea?

I've been pushing for years to get Drupal's infrastructure on a path to more automation. It would be helpful to have:

<

  • Automated creation of new environments that clone the live environment, both local and centralized
  • A battery of well-maintained tests for every level of our infrastructure, and standards to keep the quality
  • A similarly comprehensive logging strategy, and accompanying standard

    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...

    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.

    Switch to Drupal 8 for d.o. and g.d.o.

    What's your idea?

    To show the worls that Drupal 8 is the best there is, we should switch as soon as possible, preferably before Drupal 8 is released.

    What are the benefits?

    Show everybody that Drupal 8 is a good and flexible system. "Eat your own dog food"

    What are the risks?

    Probably lack of resources

    How can we measure the impact of this idea? (metrics)

    Who directly benefits from / will use this improvement? (target audiences)

    The world, our community

    Ajaxify Drupal.org form submissions

    What's your idea?

    I think we should aim to AJAXify as many form submissions as possible. Right now Drupal.org has some great functionality, but not so much in interactivity. The Form API provides an excellent AJAX framework that can be used to AJAXify pretty much every form on the system.

    What are the benefits?

    Improved user experience, less load on the server due to less full page loads, and a better example of what is possible with Drupal.

    What are the risks?

    I can't think of any. Maybe someone else can.

    New, redesigned drupal.org theme

    What's your idea?

    Redesign drupal.org's theme to be more modern and cater to mobile devices.

    What are the benefits?

    Drupal.org becomes responsive out of the box with an opportunity to 'refresh' the way the website looks. Perhaps a 'flat design' or some friendlier UI re-arranging. Most developers don't seem to care, but a fresh face could attract new people and make Drupal more appealing by showcasing how beautiful a theme can be in Drupal. It would be a good opportunity to put a new face out before Drupal 8 is released.

    What are the risks?

    Implement edit-in-browser and pull requests on Drupal.org

    What's your idea?

    Pull requests implemented in drupal.org and the ability to edit files in browsers.
    There is a similar proposal: Move Git repositories to Github

    What are the benefits?

    Reduces barrier to entry for contributions

    A short story

    Prevent 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?

    Reviews and ratings for projects

    What's your idea?

    Add possibility to write a review about project (module/theme) on Drupal.org. Add possibility to rate projects and to filter projects by rating/number of reviews.
    For more info see: https://drupal.org/node/1580230

    What are the benefits?

    Drupal.org has huge number of modules and themes available for download, often it is hard to choose which ones of them to use when building Drupal site.

    The goal is to help site builders determine quality of projects on drupal.org site by adding various indicators to project (module/theme) pages.
