Sep7agon V2 has launched, and some patches need to be applied... While working with the code, I can't help but notice that much of the work itself that must be done to improve the website in a truthful way is in the underlying code, rather than the design choices.

So, I have two big projects at hand; one is about improving the current themes and modules that are used, and the second project involve writing from scratch the theme, and modules that are used by Sep7agon. Of course, I don't have time for both projects at a huge priority.

You have the opportunity to choose on how I dedicate my development time.

Yeah, maybe I could do that, but then what would happen? I think people would really get annoyed.

Meh. I'd say you probably have more expertise on the subject than anyone who will be voting.
Keeping that in mind I'd vote that you don't let the plebians decide where you direct your resources.

Technocracy now.

What is functional isn't exactly performing that well. The underlying design was written based on what was at their disposal years ago, and the underlying design underlying that one is even shadier. (Some of the icons are from the early 2000's)

Creating it from scratch also, means adjusting issues that we have found out over time.

While having our design is nice, there's not a whole lot of point in focusing on it while we have a perfectly functional one now.

I say work on improving and refining the site.
