Communities in the new Google+ Stream

As you may have seen by now, we're excited to roll out 41 Google+ upgrades today - including the new Stream, Hangouts, and Photos. Check them all out here:

For those particularly interested in Communities, here are the Communities-specific changes we've made in the redesign:

- Communities look great in the redesign - New multi-column layout? New stylish looks? New related tags? They're all in Communities too.
- More prominent About section - Community moderators have been asking for a way to make their About sections - with its critical set of guidelines and rules - more visible. Now prominently in the upper-right, perhaps you might also find the About section useful for timely announcements now, too?
- See more people at once - You can now see about 4x the people at once in the members section - and, as a few folks have asked for, we now randomize which members show up first on the front page of a community.
- Faster and easier to moderate - This is a bit of a subtle change, but I'm personally finding it faster and easier to moderate now - posts don't shift around anymore after I make a decision, so I can quickly jump from post to post without waiting.

What do you think? What are you a fan of? What would you like to see?
