The initial rough layout for the front page for the new OGA3 layout is viewable at http://199.180.155.219
Any feedback is appreciated.
Source code for the theme is located at https://github.com/OpenGameArt/OpenGameArt-OGA3-Theme any patches are welcome!
Here is what I'm thinking on some of the comments bring up. Ideas/suggestions?
1) people can post animated previews currently, should we keep the rendering them out to a static png or let people actually see the previews that are posted? Is there a way anyone knows of to deal with this? Maby allow animation on hover? Anyone know how can that be accomplished?
2) There will be a forum menu item I just haven't added that yet, the menus' will stay basically the same
3) I think I will move the news button to the top middle as a pull-down
4) @chasersgaming the idea is to bring more prominence to the art, not all the other items, currently things like "who's online" does that really matter to anyone?
5) I am thinking to make the previews a bit smaller with a border around them, still larger than the current ones but smaller than now. Was also thinking to add a "left and right" preview button for if someone has more then one preview image. Thoughts?
6) I like the idea of an opt-out on the scroll, I removed the scroll for now but I think alike X or something to close it? Thoughts?
7) The duplicated popular this week and stuff at the end of the page is just for testing
8) Should I auto zoom in on images that have bad proportions, ie 10px x 500px or stick to showing the (almost useless?) super zoomed out image?
Note: The current theme is not migratable, the entire thing has to be redone as its impossible to just keep what there currently is. As such its an ideal time to redo it with support for mobile and other optimizations.

There was an issue with sending email on OGA, the issue should be resolved now.
Please let us know if you experience any issues moving forward.

After much deliberation, patching, etc it has been decided that the best way forward for Open Game Art is a site upgrade and redesign. A lot of the modules and otherwise that OGA has used over the years are quite long in the tooth or no longer supported making upgrades and fixing issues increasingly difficult. Unfortunately, OGA is running by a team of volunteers and the current developers of the site are unable to accomplish this by themselves in a reasonable time frame as the current site maintenance takes most of there availability.
As such this is an open call for anyone interested in helping with the project, the new OGA site will be licensed as an open source Drupal 8 Module under the AGPL v 3.0
If you have experience with Drupal, CSS, PHP or anything else that may be of assistance we would love any help you can bring.
If you are willing to assist in any way please contact Botanic on IRC.
Have a good holiday and thank you to anyone who is willing to offer any assistance.

It's official: The Fall All-OGA Game Jam 2018 was a success! The jam ended October 31 and voting has concluded.
- Congratulations antonioab for the "overall" category winning entry J.I.R.O.U.
- Congratulations to all category winners!
- See the final results here https://itch.io/jam/fall-all-oga-game-jam-2018/results
Prepping beforehand was permitted, full details here:
https://itch.io/jam/fall-all-oga-game-jam-2018
The idea of this Jam is challenge ourselves to use only OGA available assets, so let's see what we can do to show off all the wonderful artwork on OpenGameArt.org!
There is an optional theme:
*** Completing the Set ***
So anyone in need of inspiration can dwell on that, or just start spelunking through OGA works until something strikes a chord!
