Redesigned Drupal.org profile page: your feedback needed!
Hi everyone! We're in the process of redesigning the profile page on Drupal.org, and we need the community's feedback! You can find the issue at: https://www.drupal.org/node/2281763.
Specific feedback needed:
- Assuming that we're keeping the current theme, does the organization of information make sense on the page?
- Is there any new information we should be collecting on profiles? Since this will require refactoring several of the data elements in profiles, we have a great opportunity to allow users to show/share more about themselves.
Separate D.O. into "Marketing/Brochure" and "Project/Collab" sites and Dogfood them with Drupal Major/Minor versions

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).

What's your idea?
To put a block/pane on every project page on D.org that provides an at-a-glance summary of how 'healthy' the project is. This would replace/extend the 'Statistics' block presently implemented and provide a clear, colourful overview of how 'healthy' -- in terms of bugs, issue activity, maintainers and installs -- the project is.
Ideally, to have the 'at-a-glance' properties, these would be clearly rendered to be 'good', 'ok' or 'bad' somehow, and compared to a standard/good practice set of metrics.

Respect the Reviewer
As a core contributor it is great when contributor's name is added to commit message. But a contribute is never possible without a master reviewer. What is reviewer getting out contributing to a project?
In the issue queue a lot of issues get stuck at community need review (CNR). When you start contributing more and more it gets harder to find a reviewer.
If community wants to encourage contributors to review more and patches we should respect and honor the reviewers. We should pay them back.

Read moreExplicit issue relationships
What's your idea?
This is contingent on us remaining on Project* for issue management, but if we move to something else (GitHub, GitLab, Phabricator, etc.) consider this a "I really really wish whatever we move to had this feature" consideration. (I know GitHub does not.)
It is increasingly common for issues to relate to one another. One may block another, one may be a spinoff of another, one may be a planned follow-up, etc.

What's your idea?
Set up a community OAuth server that not only manages all the login to all the *.d.o server, but also allow third parties to authenticate against it. Particularly community oriented sites such as http://www.drupal8multilingual.org/ would greatly benefit from this.
The same server can then also be used for improved and centralized management of user profiles etc.

What's your idea?
The Bluecheese repo is not hosted as a public project on drupal.org. The original motivation behind that was to protect the branding elements of Drupal.org. This private repository adds an extremely high barrier to contribution.
I think it's possible to make the Bluecheese repo public, allowing members of the community to contribute easily, by moving the drupal.org branded elements (the logo) outside of the theme.

Read moreRefresh Data on CertifiedToRock.com
What's your idea?
Refresh the data on CertifiedToRock.com so that recent contributors are better represented.
What are the benefits?
CTR could be a valid source for considering Drupal developers but due to the data being outdated it can not be used as a reliable source. With updated data current developers will be better represented and it could encourage new developers to contribute.
What are the risks?
A single refresh will not be useful. If the data goes stale again it will hurt new developers more than it will help.

What's your idea?
Make a quick search for a specific functionality easier by improving the search process for modules. The way drupalmodules.org has worked is a good example, with keywords and without a search button.
What are the benefits?
Drupalmodules.org is not maintained and outdated. It worked perfect for a lot of people, because it was a very fast way to find your module, only typing one or two keywords.
It is a difficult and time consuming proces to find the module, that gives you the functionality you want, in the current drupal.org module search.
