Drupal Changes their Design

Today I was in need of some information on an Ubercart module on Drupal.org. Following a link from the Ubercart site, I found the module I needed. However, I felt lost when I got to the site. I looked up at the url to ensure I was on drupal.org. Yes, I was.  The first thing that came into mind was, "this design is horrible. It is in no way user friendly."

Good thing I didn't create this post at that time.

On a second visit, I found some pretty useful stuff on the home page. Here is a quick list of things I find nice on the home page.

1. The color scheme is still the same
2. Information for new users are presented above the fold and present an obvious call to action
3. For regular users navigational items are in the same general area
4. There are new tools below the fold (on my computer)
5. There is a map that regularly displays fresh updates from the site
6. There is a tabular section that offer a quick glance of what is going on in the community
7. I love the term 'download and extend'. It use to be 'download', but some how the addition of the term extend makes seems inviting.

The only problem I have with new design is the lack of the related modules block that use to be on the module's page. However, I some how think I will quickly get use to this and the new design and layout.

Thanks Drupal for always keeping it fresh!
