Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Are we going to turn the 'blocks' in this template into real Drupal blocks? This seems like the intention based on how the template is coded.
drupalorg-home.tpl.php is in the drupalorg module, but can be considered part of the theme code

gábor hojtsyThe reason it is not part of the theme code, is that it would require many decoupling inbetween drupalorg module and the theme. While we know these will only ever be used at once. The bluecheese theme however should be capable of running on subsites on drupal.org so it should not have that homepage hardwired.
Those "blocks" were real blocks in a previous implementation iteration, but we discussed having 7(!) one-off block regions which will only ever be used on one specific page on one specific site this theme will run on obscures the other actually useful regions which will be used on more subsites and throughout the main site as well.
What do you think?

courtney commentedThanks for the feedback - this is exactly what was shared by toddross here at the d.o. redesign sprint, so we're all in agreement. :)
Setting to 'by design'.
