Oh boy, redesigning Joomla.org and all the subsites (8 Joomla 1.5 sites, 2 Joomla 1.7 sites, 1 phpbb3 forum, and probably more…) is just about as much work as I thought it would be.

Here’s my current progress:

• http://www.joomla.org/?template=joomla12
• http://community.joomla.org/?template=joomla12
• http://community.joomla.org/showcase/?template=joomla12
• http://people.joomla.org/?template=joomla12
• http://resources.joomla.org/?template=joomla12

I plan on knocking out the JED, API and Dev site in the next few days. Later I’ll brave the phpbb3 style/theme update.

The main goal of this first round of updates is the homepage update and consistent menu. The structure of the subsites will largely stay the same and just receive a fresh coat of paint right now. Once the new templates are in place then we can start optimizing the user experience within those sites.

Sorry it’s taking so long, where the heck did free time go?
