Mark Boulton is working on the redesign of Drupal.org, that's great news. I've been following Mark's work for many years and I really enjoy his writing, his series about grids and typography are fantastic pieces.

But what's even better is that Mark and his team have decided to open their design process, a very brave and risky move, and they've called it design by community.

I don't know if this will work or not but in any case I'm sure we will all learn a lot from it.

While working on the new design for Ventanazul, an slightly more complex project than usual, I started to notice a small but very important detail missing from Gimp: there's no way of removing, with just one action, all invisible layers.

Yep, I can confirm the new design is finally progressing. I have a total of ten mockups planned, with three already done. The concept is complete and all wireframes are in place.

This week I'm on the final touches with Gimp and should start hacking HTML and CSS next week to later move everything to Drupal 6. I don't want to throw a release date yet but I'm pretty sure it will be before leaving to Cancún.

I'm documenting all the process and will have some interesting articles about it when the site is launched.

I can't, well, I don't want really, tell you more but here's a small preview.

ConceptShare is a web-based service where you can publish and share design ideas. It helps to communicate your ideas and get feedback from other members of your team and customers during a project.

It's a service that can be used by web developers, like the well known Basecamp and the helpful Harvest, but can also be applied to other areas of design such as architecture, decoration, fashion and desktop publishing.
