Update: we are organizing a series of developer sprints to implement the site upgrade and redesign and would welcome your kind donations.

The Drupal Association is excited to announce that the last iteration, iteration 11, of the Drupal.org redesign is now available for review. Hundreds of Drupal community members and designers have participated in the redesign of Drupal.org.

We have had over 450 comments on 10 posts in the Drupal.org redesign group. Leisa Reichelt, our user experience research lead, has posted over 26 blog entries about the Drupal.org redesign with over 300 comments! Over on Mark Boulton Design, Mark has blogged 6 posts with over 430 comments. Who knew that open source contributors were so passionate about fonts, logos, and brands? Mark Boulton has also blogged three posts on his personal blog. It's been an exciting, educational, and insightful process for everyone who has been involved. If you haven't had a chance to review these 42 blog posts, or the numerous posts about the redesign on Planet Drupal, please take a few hours and get involved now!

Where do we go from here?
Drupal.org base theme

We are now recruiting theme developers from the community to help create both the base theme and Drupal.org site specific themes. The base theme will implement the design style guide developed as part of the redesign deliverables. The Drupal.org specific themes will remain exclusive to Drupal.org web sites: http://association.drupal.org, http://api.drupal.org, http://security.drupal.org, http://infrastructure.drupal.org.

Drupal.org redesign infrastructure team

The migration, development, and staging of the redesigned drupal.org will take place on the Drupal.org infrastructure. Developers and infrastructure contributors will be given access to a virtual machine with the Drupal.org code base as well as a scrubbed version of the Drupal.org database for development. If you would like to help with the porting of Drupal.org to Drupal 6 or help develop new features, please join the Drupal.org redesign infrastructure group.

More design

The design process for Drupal.org is ongoing. The community has stepped forward to show that they can be valuable contributors to the design process. For a detailed review of the many design techniques that have been used as part of this redesign, see Are we there yet?.
