Design By Community: The Redesign of Drupal.org
Just how do you re-design a website when you have 300,000+ clients? Is design by community as bad as design by committee?
In this presentation we'll discuss the community centric approach we have taken to this project and the various tools and activities we used to recruit, engage with and communicate with the community, including some innovative approaches to participatory and crowdsourcing design.
