Yes, read this: https://scratchfoundation.org/announcements/ngp

Glad people are finally staying on topic.

Yes new UI across all pages.

No, it cannot be, because of the “Powered by DjangoBB” thing. See, DjangoBB is the forum software currently used for the forums. Or, actually, a it's modified version of it that features ScratchR2 integration and other Scratch-only features. ScratchR2, in case you don't know, is what runs the Scratch 2.0 pages and part of the backend for 3.0 pages. ScratchR2 is also one of the many things that NGP is aiming to replace, if they keep using DjangoBB, they would fail to do what NGP is getting made for. Additionally, DjangoBB, just like ScratchR2, works by dynamically generating the page based on templates on the server side . That means more work for the servers. From what I've seen from the Scratch for Schools Pilot, NGP will instead be a static site on the frontend, and will query the API (the server) to get the data. That means less work for the server, and it's much easier to cache individual data instead of full pages, so the website will be fast and responsive (assuming you aren't trying to use on something comparable to a Pentium 4 or whatever) even when there's loads of users using it. So, for the forums to work with NGP, they would have to rewrite everything, at which point it wouldn't be DjangoBB anymore.

Why do you want them in a project?
