As someone relatively new to the drupal community, I say keep the subdomains, but have on coherent feel. Drupal.org could act more as a launch page to the subsites.

I completely agree that having separate sites makes me much less likely to venture into api-land or groups-land, and some of those other sites, I didn’t even know they existed. Maybe a coherent theme and a launch page (with feeds/updates from each) would work best?

Thanks leisa. I’m after the same information as well.

I think that drupal org is only one site.

As long as each element doesn’t come off as too generic, I think that’ll be enough to tie each site together while giving some flexibility and variation between sites.

I’m agree with that a single site with a single login that provides easy navigation to all the (sub)-sites would strengthen the Drupal brand while providing an easy way to navigate to around the Drupal world.

I’m no expert on resources for learning drupal either, but perhaps you could start by checking out http://www.lullabot.com/

I think having multiple sites does have its own benefits. First, it can cater to various types of users. Second, there seems to be more room for improvement and observation and finally, there’s are a lot of options to choose from.

I think a single site (from a user experience point of view, not technically) with a single login that provides easy navigation to all the (sub)-sites would strengthen the Drupal brand while providing an easy way to navigate to around the Drupal world.

Groups.drupal.org are just as much an integral part of the Drupal experience as is the api or Association site. Drupal provides enough tools for different groups of people to manage the content of different areas of the site independently. This should provide enough independence to different groups to run an area to best serve its visitors.

As a user of a few of these sites/sections I personally don’t care if they are structurally bound but I do want them experientially bound. Currently I have to log into drupal.org and groups.drupal with a different account… that doesn’t make any sense to me. Identity management can easily be federated to make this happen (openId could even be used to provide sso). I also think that there may be some advantage to being able to manage/track my own activities across these diff sites in a profile dashboard of sorts. It would be cool to see what contributions I have made, where, etc.
