For historical reasons, that main thread will probably always exist. But there is talk of breaking it up into 10 or 12 different smaller threads for the various subjects in it. With that said... For you the most important thread is this one:
http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...s-enhancements
Even if you don't have a MakerFarm, this is the right thread to use. It uses a very current fork of the Marlin firmware and has most of the enhancements added to it. If you take this thread, and cross your Configuration.h settings over to it, most likely it will just fire up and work. But if it doesn't, if you still have that Z offset issue... Take a look at that thread starting at this post:

Right now, a new main branch of the Marlin firmware showed up with nothing but bug fixes. I need to cross all the enhancements over to it and use that as a starting point. But I don't have time to do that right now. And in fact, what we really need to do is get all the enhancements pushed back (and up) into the main branches of the tree.
