Since the mugshot is currently in the "heading" slot, I am guessing that you mean that the mugshot will be moved onto the same line as the application tabs. Do you have a screenshot of how that will look? I think it will be hard to give feedback otherwise. > > Side portlets > * Move the privacy portlet under the action menu.

This and other changes seem to be directly contrary to the old direction of showing edit links next to the item you are editing. Have there been users who edit things unknowingly with the edit icon in the content? Will each possible action only appear in the sidebar of a single page? I think the sidebar starts to be ignored when the user thinks that the list of actions never changes. > * Move the PPA into the main area because the links are > informational.

This seems like something that could cause a bunch of wasted space in the layout. Maybe, portlets shouldn't be forced to line up side-by-side, so they only use as much height as they need. If I put the projects into columns, that vertical space used could be minimized. Maybe, the PPA portlet should only be half as wide, so it can be next to the Related Projects, but it will give those projects more room. > * Teams need a way to get to their +maintained-packages > * Answers is problematic.

I'm not sure what you are referring to by "fix the answers menu items". Does it have menu items on the overview page? Are you talking about the actions menu or some other menu? I also think that I should hide the questions portlet automatically if there are no questions. > * Recently applied, recently proposed, and recently added are > missing from the mockup. I assume you mean Recently Approved. I was confused for a minute. Martin Pool would like all the members to be shown for reasonably small projects, so I was thinking about putting that at the bottom and putting the members into three or more columns to save space. > * I wonder if we should consider showing the names of RSS feeds on > persons, teams, and project pages.
