Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.We had this thought already in Paris at a UX team meeting. It holds true the same for Designers.
When Designers and UX people come to Drupal.org and wanna get involved, there is a place missing that helps them out. It may be similar for Coders, but as UX and Design is generally less visible on d.o, the need is more urgent here.
Is there already a general "Get involved" page? If not, the designers might help out to create it. For some reason the interations of the redesign on Mark Boultons website are no longer online, so I cannot check this.
From the general "get involved page" one can get to the Designers Page. The optimal url for this could be drupal.org/design.
Contents:
- How does Design work in Drupal
- Lists of theme resources (yes, there _are_ beautiful themes for Drupal)
- People to ask when you wanna get involved
- Places to go to get involved
- name it....
Without doubt, this page should look appealing to Designers, so it needs special attention.

lisarex CreditAttribution: lisarex commentedIt could just be a matter of creating a new subpage in this book: http://drupal.org/getting-involved
*However*, I want to focus people's efforts on the content that is absolutely needed for the launch of the new drupal.org.
The new about/themes page ... which does not have any content .... (hint hint :-)) should be done first: http://drupal.org/node/895294

lisarex CreditAttribution: lisarex commentedDidn't mean to postpone this, but we won't be able to give it special attention until after the MVP is launched, unless some other volunteers step forward to help.

drummMoving this out to webmasters since this isn't really part of the redesign process. It is just another page to (maybe) create, whether d.o is redesigned or not.

eigentor CreditAttribution: eigentor commentedJust for getting this to attention again: We had quite some talk about this at the Design camp prague and it will be a matter of who steps up do do something about it.
Plans are to to more than just one page, but this depends - as always - on the initiative of the ones that wanna push this forward.

mgiffordI added the term "sharp" to the title. It should have something a bit funky with it.
There's been a lot of talk about how the Drupal community doesn't attract designers.... Perhaps this would be a good start to bringing great new folks into the community.
