I am looking at
    http://people.canonical.com/~ed/dsp_mockup_with_linkage.png

I do not understand the latest release portlet. I expect to see the
owner and version information in in the <Object-type> information
portlet in th top-left of the content. Look at a project and project
group in dev or edge.

See that the owner, version info is always in that location. We want
every +index for a content object to place this information in the same
location so that a user knows where to find it. The distribution page is
doing this too (draft https://devpad.canonical.com/~curtis/ubuntu.png).
See that main is listed in this portlet.

Moving this portlet to the same place as other object is not easy since
there is no portlet for the top right. You do not need to divid the
content into two column. I am sure you tried it and decide it wasted
space. I propose that we move the project icon and summary into a right
portlet in the content. The icons are too close and compete with
eachother. The summary will rarely fill the space -- there is a
whitespace problem that can be solved by moving the summary. If you do
not want to move the icon and summary, consider the icon so that it does
not compete with the branding.
