This thread seems to be coming to a natural end, as such I would like to thank those who have participated in the sometimes heated debates about the site specifics. With the possibilities with Drupal being limited largely by our imagination, skill and time rather than the system, there will be many more discussions down the track regarding the tooling and UI for the website.
I would like to request that people are patient. As has been stated, we are still in the early stages of site development, the theme has not yet been created, the vast majority of the interactive UI is not yet in place and we are still working through exactly how each team envisages their ideal outcome to improve team coordination and encourage new contributors. One area that the Drupal website team will be focusing on over the next few weeks is consulting and conceptualising the tools required for the different teams. In order to build an inclusive community, each and every workflow and tool must be transparent and documented; accessible for all users/contributors and, most importantly, easy to use. With the LibreOffice release imminent and time management is tight, I would like to reassure people that regardless of the progress over the coming couple of months we will review and revision all of the 'features' of the community site well before any talk of an official launch. Others share my view that we have the time to get it right for all involved. Again, thanks for all of the patience and constructive criticism with regard to this project. It reinforces the fact that we are on the right path, although bumpy, with a lot more consulting and collaboration we will have the best possible outcome for our blossoming community.
