This issue is to revamp or replace the prominently displayed menu tabs on Drupal.org project pages (modules and themes)

Only contrib developers interact with this, and my guess is very seldom.

While browsing https://wordpress.org/plugins (Gasp!), I noticed their **freaking awesome** project page header. Let's take a look.

  • Description : This is what we have now. No changes unless moving some content to other tabs.
  • Installation : Hey, this is cool! I bet this would reduce some support requests.
  • FAQ : Whoa! This is pretty awesome also! Issue support requests reduced even more!!!
  • Screenshots : ZOMG!!! HOLY CRAP! This is needed! A picture is worth 1000 words, right? I know that many authors will embed a screenshot into their description. This is a workaround (ask Eaton), and having this tab would 1) provide a consistent place for users to look, and 2) encourage module maintainers to include screenshots without cluttering up their description.
  • Changelog : Self explanatory.
  • Stats : I honestly like where D.O's stats are currently. I could take it or leave it.
  • Support : I'm pretty sure this would be either omitted, or have to be manually enabled by module maintainers.
  • Reviews : This would be omitted.
  • Developers : The developer info that's currently displayed under the various tabs could be moved here.

My thought is that we can just use much of the same format. I know this will probably be bikeshedded to death (bikeshod?), but this would be a very awesome and much needed improvement to Drupal.org's usability. Please let me know where I can help.
