Two women kicking in a door and walking through.

After years of giving a terrible initial experience to people who want to share their first project on Drupal.org, the Project Applications Process Revamp is a Drupal Association key priority for the first part of 2017.

A plan for incentivizing code review of every project, not just new ones, after the project applications revamp is open for suggestions and feedback.

Which makes it excellent timing that right now you can get credit on your Drupal.org profile and that of your organization, boosting marketplace ranking, for reviewing the year-old backlog of project applications requesting review. The focus is on security review for these project applications, but if you want to give a thorough review and then give your thoughts on how project reviews (for any project that opts in to this quality marker) should be performed and rewarded going forward, now's the time and here's the pressing need.

Please. Drupal might be more welcoming to occasional users if there were clear instructions re how to remove the "Read more...." on the D8 content. There are likely many more entry points - and quite possibly there are people who are working to design and structure documentation appropriate for the occasional user.

Ben, if you can give a call at [removed]. You may be able to hook me up with some local people who can help me out on a project I hope to get up quickly, at least in working early-stage form.

Create and use a custom permission in your module

You can define your own permissions for the Drupal permissions page (/admin/people/permissions in modern Drupal, Drupal 8, 9, 10, and beyond) and then add conditional options to your code to do different things based on the role of the user and the permissions configured by a site administrator. See how!

Code-driven development

Reading about development being code-driven on a software developer's blog is a bit surprising, isn't it? As if development was not all about writing code in this industry. Yet some developers use the term to distinguish their method of building web sites with Drupal.
