One thing that I have noticed, especially as people start flooding into the community there seems to be a lot of independent suggestions for new web applications / communications tools from people who have not read through the mailing lists (who would) or read the website development wiki.
To set everyone's mind at ease I would like to reassure you that the LibreOffice Drupal Development site is being built at breakneck pace. There are many people working hard to deliver the scheduled replacement for SilverStripe, which will not only do the community justice, but break down barriers for new members to join and start contributing to all facets of our fantastic project. Although the Drupal development site is not yet at a beta testing phase I would like to invite all groups across the LibreOffice Project discuss and propose requirements and ideas for the website which would assist in your work of bettering LibreOffice. There are already groups which have been consulted, and I thank them for their input, including the documentation and marketing/branding/artwork teams. We still need the basic framework for the code development group, steering committee, quality assurance and regional groups. You can add your needs and ideas on the wiki once agreed within the group: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal#Drupal_Website_Requirements Thanks for your patience with the Drupal Development, but when launched on LibreOffice.org as the Steering Committee has recommended within 6 months, ALL of this functionality will be available in one place, our community.
