Made it "sticky". Not sure "promote o front page" does anything as the front page gets it content via specific views and such (I think). further promotion needs to happen by the Assoc (which controls social media).

As I see from other nodes promoted to front page (e.g. https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/blog/introducing-drupal.org-terms-of-se...), the nodes aren't made sticky. That would make the node stay on top of the other promoted nodes, which is rarely something we want.

I freely admit that I might have lost any idea how our frontpage stuff works atm. ;/

@dddave I would not say that promoting to front page is the right term, as I don't see any part on https://www.drupal.org/ which is showing the post you added.

I will check to see if there is something we are missing on what it should be done.

I found only https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/content/front-page-promotion, where I can read the following.

  • The front page schedule is managed by the Drupal Association staff. Once the post is ready, one of the staff members will add it to the schedule and announce the date in the issue.
  • On the date one of the staff members will promote the post to the front page.

I am not sure how to take that. Does it mean there are settings accessible just to DA staff? Does that merely mean it's their task to promote on front page, and they schedule the post to promote so it stays on front page enough to be shown?

Ahh. I remember. A couple of years back, during redesign and all that this was discussed and ultimately realized: the frontpage is 100% managed by the DA. They control the display.
So, this should be kicked over to the DA and I guess the post needs to become a blogpost or whatnot.

well, lets skip. the tradition is a bit fading, but getting to the f/p of d.o vai the da is too long road for me.
