These are a great improvement Derek, but where are announcements of major changes like this made?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Derek Wright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:drupal@dwwright.net">drupal@dwwright.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

What happened to the issue queue links from project pages? Can they be restored?<br>

Yes, the issue queue would have been the right place to ask this. However, since a fair number of people seem to have missed it, I'll also answer here...<br>
<br>
Yesterday I rolled out some changes to the project pages which are incremental steps towards the redesigned <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a>. In particular, there are 3 new blocks on the right sidebar for each project:<br>
<br>
1) "Maintainers for XXX" - with the names of the most recent people with CVS access who committed to the project, some stats about their commit history, and a link to a page with all committers to the project (which would include translation commits, previous maintainers, etc).<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/371969" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/371969</a><br>
<br>
2) What we're internally calling the "Issue cockpit" block -- search box, stats about # of open vs. total issues (and the subset of those that are bugs), direct links to advanced search, e-mail subscribe, etc.<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/425728" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/425728</a><br>
<br>
3) "Recent issues" -- 5 most recent open issues in the queue.<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/22402" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/22402</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Therefore, the wall of links below the release table is mostly gone in favor of these blocks.<br>
<br>
<br>
Enjoy,<br>

p.s. Thanks to the SF d.o redesign sprint in general, and Mark "mfb" Burdett (<a href="http://drupal.org/user/12302" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/user/12302</a>) in particular, for helping making these blocks a reality.<br>
