Thank you!!


Next, the plan for *this* year...


Note: I have no idea what I’m doing. :)

But something needed to get done.

Here’s what can get us through the next 6 months, to then make a

better plan.


“Make Drupal.org awesome for...”

Site builders! Developers!

Common trends:1. There are critical things almost everyone agrees we have to do, but are stalled out.

2. Community-driven d.o initiatives are not getting consistent attention, causing major burnout.

3. D.o’s “bus factor” is bad. Like, *scary* bad.

4. Drupal.org *needs* to be on Drupal 7, and the DA has to lead it.


So, the plan:Build a team that works

*full-time* on Drupal.org, on:1. Big, scary stuff that only the DA can do

2. High-impact, low-hanging fruit

3. Reviewing/deploying community-driven initiatives


(Drupal 7 upgrade, project ratings)

(Get BlueCheese theme on g.d.o)

(Make api.drupal.org awesome, case studies section)
