Re: A Drupal User: Wake up community - Wordpress.org should scare you!

Not that I mind my interesting discussions, but Wordpress.org in the title refers not to the WordPress the project, but the actual website and the resources contained therein.

Spending only a few minutes on wordpress.org was a very scary wakeup call for me about how far behind we are. What immediately struck me was that everything there is about using WordPress, not developing it. When I search for modules, themes etc the information presented is about stable releases, how to install them and so on. The closest you get to coding is a link, in the sidebar, to the developer log. That’s it, nothing that can create confusion for new users!
So leaving aside how incredibly awful or awfully incredible Wordpress the project is, the question is does textpattern.com do a good job presenting a face to the new users we want to attract? That was the question that Destry made in the thread I originally linked to and I thought this was worth bringing up here. I think the current textpattern.com is fantastic and many orders of magnitude better than the original, but I have always believed that there is always room for improvement.
Since we are trying to increase the size of the user community and wordpress.org is a model for a successful one, is there anything there worth copying/stealing/borrowing?
