https://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype/getin... calls for a page highlighting community members, modules, and themes. The editorial process will be like the current front page, but more proactive. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/78783 for editorial changes.
Technically, I want to keep this really simple. A new forum, and the page will be a view where
- tid = N
- promoted = 1, status = 1
- reverse chronological order
Unless we change the implementation, the forum should be created on the live Drupal.org and some content started.
Views like this are exported to the drupalorg module, http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/drupalorg/drup....

lisarex commentedNeil, we can create this forum now, in order to get a good selection of content prior to launch.
I don't have the permissions to create a top-level forum topic, but this was the text was going to use:
Community Spotlight
If you're active in the Drupal community, fill in the Community Spotlight interview. Selected spotlights will be featured on the Getting Involved page on the redesigned Drupal.org.
(and then I'll create a sample Community Spotlight as a separate forum post)

lisarex commentedGreat!
How to become featured in the new Community Spotlight is the intro for this new forum section. If anyone has any feedback on the intro, let me know. I need to start promoting this section as part of sprint 2, and will continue to promote it throughout Drupalcon.

drummI think this will actually be a bit more interesting if we let the content be really flexible. Any list of relevant questions is fine, a theme developer and a core API developer aren't necessarily covered by the same topics.
And, there is community spotlight throughout the rest of the site highlighting modules and themes by name-only. Spotlighting a project, or effort like the redesign, is probably relevant and interesting.
I think the main guideline should be 'is it relevant to the community.' Probably less editorial control than the current front page, but do want to keep it relevant. Of course, future editors are free to define this however they feel is manageable and useful for the community, it's their section.
(I plan on having any future lists of community spotlight modules, themes, etc pull from the content, no need to box things into CCK fields.)
Comment #6
lisarex commentedOkay, good plan to keep all of the community spotlight content in one single forum. I have revised the text: http://drupal.org/node/885092
Thoughts?
This change prompted #888564: Create new taxonomy for community spotlight contributions

drummThe existing book page at http://redesign.drupal.org/getting-involved is good stuff, so I don't htink we want to completely replace it with the view. Either split the main content area 50/50, or put that node teaser at the top with a (warm) grey background.
Technically, this will be a new page in drupalorg, the about page, and related templating, is a good example, http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/drupalorg/drup.... The view should be exported to code, http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/drupalorg/drup... and/or http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/drupalorg/drup...

jenlamptonThe getting-involved page was previously a docs node, so I removed the existing node path "getting-involved" in drupalorg_update_6501. I added a custom callback for getting-involved and created a template and preprocess function so this page now functions much like 'about' or 'community'. I added a new view, exported to code: drupalorg_community_spotlight.view.php
The two things I placed on the page are a teaser of the original docs node, and a full node view of the single most recent community member spotlight. These things are currently stacked vertically, but could be rearranged to do a 50/50 column split if that is preferred.
Both the getting-involved page and the community-spotlight page are ready to be themed.

drummLooks good to me. We can bring the spotlight more prominence when it has good content.
