We upgraded drupal.org from Drupal 4.3.0 straight to Drupal HEAD. So in good Drupal tradition, we are once again using the development version of Drupal on drupal.org. That is, we (developers) get to "eat our own dog food" and you (users) get to see and test that latest changes. The updated site caters to the each of us with better project pages (check the navigation menu), better performance and improved usability.

Upgrading the site was easy and took no longer than 15 minutes. Though, Kjartan and I spent most of the afternoon implementing small improvements and updating some of the contributed modules that we use here on drupal.org. Everything seems to work fine, but please let us know if you find anything out of whack.

In addition to the upgrade, comment posting for anonymous users has been disabled in an attempt to improve the overall quality of the discussions. We found that many anonymous posters don't take the time to adhere the (minimal) punctuation and capitalization conventions we all learned in elementary school. In future, more and better changes might be implemented to maintain a high quality of content and to improve the quality of our communication.

Lastly, we are considering to reorganize the forums. If you have concrete suggestions for improving the forums (what forums to create, delete, split, merge or group), please let us know in the comments.
