It might be a good idea to come up with a generic mechanism to provide 'Relavant links' or 'Context-sensitive information' on drupal.org. The obvious solution would be using blocks. We have 'information blocks' on http://drupal.org/cvs and handbook pages already. So, +1 but take a moment or two to come up with a generic solution that can be standardized for different pages or sections of drupal.org. On 20 Dec 2005, at 19:21, Trae McCombs wrote:

Hi all,
If you go to this page: http://drupal.org/support
You will see a variety of information for someone looking for support. However, if you go to the main Drupal Themes page, you are simply confronted with a bunch of themes to download.
I suggest we create a Launching page for the Main Themes page too. We should have at least the following:
1. Prominent Large Image pointing to the Themes Gallery (Think Drupal News Letter "Ad" on the front page of Drupal.org)
Perhaps links to themes hosted elsewhere. (offsite from drupal.org)
2. Themes Help area that lists the following links: - Basic Themes Help: http://drupal.org/node/39451 - Manage inconsistancy in themes: http://drupal.org/node/37156
3. IRC Channel This should simply mention the #drupal-themes irc channel on irc.freenode.net.
4. Mailing list info Info about this mailing list.
5. Other stuff...
...
I'm not sure who is the person that would or does have the permissions to do this. I would not mind doing it if Dries gave me access to the site to do it.
Thanks for your time, Trae
