@flixos90 is going to get in touch with the design team regarding feedback on the mockups.

Also on the agenda was continued conversation around design/layout work for the PHP upgrade page. We took a look at this mockup that was done by @jaymanpandya, however for the most part we felt that in order to progress on this, the feedback needs to come from the #design team itself and those involved in the design of the overall WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ site. To that end, @flixos90 has created a ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. in meta for tracking this and this is a callout to anyone involved in #design (and particularly with regards to the overall design of WordPress.org and how this would fit in with that) to review the current mockup and add comments.
