Feel free to look over the docs and then respond in this thread with  
thoughts and questions. Also note that they have a few "manuscripts"  
that contain copy for some main sections of the new site (not  
necessarily of the *handbooks* - these are new top-level sections for  
the entire site in the redesign) http://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/downloads/manuscripts.zip 
. Are there elements of the guide that look hard to realistically  
implement and "enforce"? With a huge community of contributors, we'll  
never get everyone to read the guide, much less actually use it. So  
how do we "implement" this and keep it up? The most popular and main  
landing pages could probably be edited to comply and be a reasonable  
list to keep an eye on. Is it? Should we do more? Are there tools or  
workflows that would help? Should we even try?

Discuss. :-)
