Page Layout adds an UI interface where you can easily create pages or override existing ones. Think Panels from Drupal 7.
While Page Manager does sort of the same thing, it's seems dependency heavy, and at the time of writing, the Panels integration does not work,
which in turn means you cannot easily setup custom layouts for the pages you create.
Page Layout is meant to only do a few things, but do them well, without code thats hard to read and understand:
- Add a UI where pages can be created (Pages that are not nodes, nor views)
- Define variants of the page, depending on certain conditions
- Add, remove and rearrange blocks in layouts specified for the variants.
It utilizes both core Conditions and core Block.
Its dependent on Layout Plugin (https://www.drupal.org/project/layout_plugin) to consort to a standard for defining layouts.

PA robot commentedWe are currently quite busy with all the project applications and we prefer projects with a review bonus. Please help reviewing and put yourself on the high priority list, then we will take a look at your project right away :-)
Also, you should get your friends, colleagues or other community members involved to review this application. Let them go through the review checklist and post a comment that sets this issue to "needs work" (they found some problems with the project) or "reviewed & tested by the community" (they found no major flaws).

[
- Git default branch is not set, see: https://www.drupal.org/node/1659588
- README.md - lines exceed 80 lines, minor formatting, not critical.
- Dozens of warnings across most files. Lots of "Missing class doc comment" and "Missing short description in doc comment" ad other comment warnings.
- Multiple warnings of: "Only string literals should be passed to t() where possible"

Note that perfect adherence to Drupal Coding Standard is NOT a reason to block an application, except for total disregard of them. However, modules should follow them as closely as possible.
Manual Review
It has a almost identical interface and functionality to Page Manager. Likely to cause future fragmentation with that module.
The starred items (*) are fairly big issues and warrant going back to Needs Work. Items marked with a plus sign (+) are important and should be addressed before a stable project release. The rest of the comments in the code walkthrough are recommendations.
If added, please don't remove the security tag, we keep that for statistics and to show examples of security problems.
This review uses the Project Application Review Template.

As successful completion of the project application process results in the applicant being granted the 'Create Full Projects' permission, there is no need to take multiple applications through the process. Once the first application has been successfully approved, then the applicant can promote other projects without review. Because of this, posting multiple applications is not necessary, and results in additional workload for reviewers ... which in turn results in longer wait times for everyone in the queue. With this in mind, your secondary applications have been marked as 'closed(duplicate)', with only one application left open (chosen at random).
If you prefer that we proceed through this review process with a different application than the one which was left open, then feel free to close the 'open' application as a duplicate, and re-open one of the project applications which had been closed.
