Oh, hehe. Ok, I put them there too. :)


I just left the descriptions blank since the rest of them seemed to be
like that (and also to give time for guidelines to be developed on what
these descriptions should say).


The one advantage the http://drupal.org/handbook/drupal/gallery page
has is it's actually in the handbook, under the section "Is Drupal
right for you?" which is great from a marketing perspective. As far as
I can tell, there's no way to add an image gallery to a book. We could
make a jump-off page ("More gallery examples") but it makes sense to
have at least a couple "show-stoppers" listed in the handbook first to
get peoples' attention.


Should I instead limit that list to maybe 4-6 sites (The Onion, Spread
Firefox, and maybe 2-4 other "high profile" sites?), and then link to
the Websites gallery for more examples?

Am I ok to add The Onion [1], Gallery [2], and Evolt.org [3] to the
Drupal Gallery page at http://drupal.org/handbook/drupal/gallery ?


They're all pretty high-profile sites that have switched to Drupal
recently.


Or is this page only for people who volunteer to be listed, or are
there some other kind of "entrance requirements?"

There's this recent drupal-docs thread [4] which discussed what should
go on the gallery page.  Not sure that a decision about the decision
making process has been worked out completely.


Definitely, my vote is for including the Onion. Very, very high profile
:)

please add all three. Once we have a bigger set, we can weed them out. 


Untill we get the discussed workflow in place, I'd say: just add. It
might even help to get that workflow in there faster if people add
images of sites that are not wanted in there :p

Ok, added all three!


One thing I noticed though as I was going through is all of the other
screenshots link over to http://mysteryexperience.com/ rather than
being hosted on Drupal.org itself. Is that intentional? It seems better
to maybe keep them all local in case that other site ever goes down.


If you want me to go through and create local images for those in the
gallery, let me know.

WOOPS


I was talking about: http://drupal.org/image/tid/41


That other one should be removed, IMO. It is odd, full with HTML and
hosts the images remotely. We don't want others to be hosting our
images (and thus being able to 'steal' Drupals site stats etcetc.
Unless we know the hoster very well.
