WordPress.org Redesign Recent Launches

As part of the ongoing WordPress.org redesign project, several sections of 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/ have been recently launched in the past couple of weeks! These sites were announced in recent Make WordPress Design posts to solicit feedback. Thank you for all the feedback to help shape the new design on these sites.

As mentioned previously, the current focus of the redesign project is to apply the redesign to all sites for wordpress.org to achieve a consistent experience without drastically rethinking the content. Additional enhancements to website functionality will be made in the future and can be requested through Meta Trac.
