I set you up with access to joelpittet@devwww.drupalsystems.org

What sort of UX improvements? Any specific issues?

@drumm thank you!

The biggest one for me is the syntax highlighting (which I can't find, so maybe it's new though highly doubt it's not been discussed).

But just want a playground to try things on for size, like general typography, whitespace and theme consistency.

Also chosen/select2 select box form improvements I do on my sites.

I may fail at all these things, just want a chance to fail and get some of these things off my mind.

#2396165-28: Code filter configuration removes blank lines is where the codefilter module styling disappeared. Other modules should be considered, especially if they support more than just PHP.

I kinda remember trying chosen/select2 or something like it, and not having a great experience. Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifics. In general, any new AJAX behavior should get some scrutiny; and it would be ideal to enable per-field, so QA can happen.

I started building out filter-drupal.dev.devdrupal.org for this. In general, if a dev site is more than a couple weeks old, it isn't good to start a new project on. Do request fresh dev sites, and let us know when they are unused.

The main buildout of the dev site is complete, but since this dev site needs to run the update for #2385781: Replace "Snapshot" on Releases page for projects with per-release field, I think it could take up to 3 hours to complete. I expect the site could be working normally, but will have some dev releases missing from download tables until the update completes.
