It would be great to emphasize the benefits of Drupal, rather than the features, in the 'marketing' content.

The existing Features content will be moving off the About page, and deserves it's own page. Currently all Features content lives at http://drupal.org/features.

If I can get a couple +1's, I'll create a Benefits tpl.php and move this issue to the Customizations project for deployment.

Another reason is that the word 'features' has other meanings in the Drupalsphere!

+1. Benefits is probably a better marketing name for this, and it is probably confusing people. New people don't know what the Features module is, but it might confuse them when they start to look for it. Plus, existing users probably don't want things like this showing up when they are searching for the Features module. Also, a "benefits" page/section can be expended with less specific "feature" type content.

Cool. In order to do this, I also needed to ensure that anything with the path /benefits isn't considered documentation so did a quick change to the crosssite module:

Once it's committed, need to see if the existing /features paths are linked from anywhere outside d.o., and create redirects for them if they are.

In addition, need to change paths on subsections to /benefits, and fix links and link text internally where those pages are linked, e.g. the main About page (Benefits, not Features :))

This is now deployed. Leaving open since there seems to be more work to do. THe book navigation is not playing well with the page content being full width. I believe path_redirect will automatically make redirects for any changed node URLs.

I will change the icon images to be normal img tags with class="left"

Seems like /benefits redirects to /features and we still use 'Features' on the about page, rather than Benefits. This whole Features section needs some attention so I've created a separate issue #1832566: Revisit & improve the Features section of drupal.org
