As you can see we've put a fresh coat of paint on Drupal.org - but the changes run below the surface. This latest iteration of the front page brings the key concepts of our design system to the forefront: Clean, Modern, Technical.
This change also brings new editorial tools for Drupal.org content editors. The new home page provides us more flexibility with content and presentation, and so you'll see more frequent updates, more information about DrupalCon, and more editorial flexibility on the home page than you've seen in the past. These tools are also helping us to build cleaner, modern landing pages - like you've just seen with our Fall Membership Campaign.
We've previewed this work with several key members of the community and the board, and we want to say thank you to everyone who's given us their feedback on this first step for our new home page. We also want to give an extra special thank you to dyannenova for her contributions to this effort.
This is just the beginning - very soon we'll have a new visual look for the case studies that are featured on the home page, and then shortly after that we'll begin promoting solutions to Drupal evaluators in specific industries, like Higher Education, Media & Publishing, and Government.
If Drupal.org is the home of the community, then the front page is our front door. We want to welcome new users and evaluators of Drupal, highlight the project's strengths, and promote news and happenings from throughout the ecosystem.
We hope you like the changes, and we think you'll like the upcoming iterations even more. We'd love to hear your feedback!

Fantastic
This is much better.

Oh man, I propose to put wallpaper pictures from different countries. For example I have a very nice places are in the city, the capital of Ukraine, and I would like them to show the community, as well as see where the others live, and they have interesting things. How do you like this idea?

I think it's a great idea! We don't want to change the look and feel too often (it would begin to look inconsistent) but every once in a while we could absolutely do something like this. Great way to represent the global community.

How about changing the city
How about changing the city based on the visitor location ?
To me, the graphic kind of gave a hint that drupal.org HQ is in London
How about an image of
How about an image of whatever city the next DrupalCon is going to be in? At the moment that photo would be Dublin.

New design looks beautiful and clean. Just one suggestion - can we please move the COMMUNITY activity blocks from bottom to above the fold area of the home page.

day by day UI also getting improved for drupal site. Good job @team
good job but...
...i would add "Download Drupal" button next to "Try Drupal", so we clearly give 2 choices to new users...
Maybe even add 3rd option for someone that would like to quickly jump into some kind of "Demo" without installing anything?
it would be great if we could better explain whats the difference of running Drupal on platform like pantheon and installing on own server. I mean, for totally new and non-technical users, main page should lure them, guide them and then catch and never let loose :)

I understand that Patheon is a great sponsor of DA fueling financial support, but that does not necessarily means that the Drupal project shall spit itself on face and sell its soul. C'mon we're still a FLOSS software which is free to GET / GRAB / DOWNLOAD / HAVE it on your own in any mean of ownership.
2016. I have to remember ourselves about the core values of libre software on Drupal.org.

Drupal.org is still on Drupal 7?
Looks good, would have been cool if you'd moved to the D8 platform.
It usually move to new
It usually move to new platform when next platform is released. So Drupal.org will be on D8 when D9 will be released.
It was running on D6 till now was moved to D7 recently.

Looks amazing. Definitely will boost Drupal marketing position forward.
Great job guys!
How was it built?
It would be good to see a blog post or video about how the new home page was built and maybe for a small section on the home page to feature this content.
What base theme was used and why? What was done in Drupal core and what required contrib? etc
I think this would serve a useful purpose for introducing newcomers to site building with Drupal and would also be of interest to the wider community.

Thank You Everyone! The homepage looks way cool.
Great work BUT
that we have the discussion with the missing "Download Drupal" button yet again is disheartening.
