SDL Tridion Community week in review - February 19, 2012
Welcome to our community review for the week ending February 19th.
This week pretty much started with a proposal for a Tridion Q&A StackExchange site on Area 51. For those who don't know Area 51, it is the staging zone for the Stack Exchange Network - anyone can create a Q&A site for any topic, but the site will not be approved nor launched until it goes through a few steps - Definition, Commitment and finally Beta. Once it goes through all stages successfully it will be launched for anyone to use & see.
The Tridion Q&A Area 51 proposal grew up so quickly that it moved into the Commitment phase within 4 days and is now well on its way through it (at 8% of requirements right now). It is currently listed 3rd in the list of "Hottest Proposals", right behind "Machine Learning" and "Windows Phone" and ahead of "Music", "Computer Science" and "Culture of Japan".
A very interesting side-effect is that there has been an explosion of Tridion-related questions in Stack Overflow, as committers try to improve their reputation to increase the chances of succeeding in the launch of the new StackExchange-powered Q&A site for SDL Tridion. You can follow all questions tagged Tridion using this URL, and if you feel you should help the community in getting our own Q&A site, then please do commit to the Area 51 proposal.
This week also saw a consolidation of efforts from some of our MVPs who will from now on start blogging using Content Bloom's "TridionDeveloper.com" website instead of using their own separate sites.
Last but not least, don't forget the Toronto User Group meeting this week's Wednesday and that SDL Innovate is right around the corner.??
