Jar Jar #FRUP. May 4 Edition.

Happy Star Wars day! Considering I already used “May the #FRUP be with You” and “A New #FRUP” as previous titles, I figured I’d give tribute to the greatest Star Wars character around. And, taking into account that the entire saga surrounds Jar Jar Binks, what better way to acknowledge that, than naming the #FRUP after him.

ExpressionEngine Site Strategy with Dev Docs

Documentation First! Wait, Documentation First?

You hear it often enough - “Documentation First!”, but for an ExpressionEngine project?

As the Community continues to amaze with the quality, depth and breadth of sites developed in ExpressionEngine, the need for a centralized dev doc repo becomes more important. The nature of projects being built with EE edge ever closer to web apps, with incredible add-ons that are almost apps in their own right!

Documentation may be the least...

EECI EU 2012

Every year Robert Eerhart does a great job of making sure that our community in Europe is not left out of the EECI goodness by hosting a conference in his home town of Leiden, Netherlands.

With folks like Filip Vanderstappen, Stephen Lewis, Leevi Graham and Steven Grant (to name a few) speaking, you will definitely not want to miss this conference.

Reminder: EE 1 Public Support Ending Soon

Since that date is coming up soon, I wanted to update you on what to expect.

The support team and I have been hard at work over the last several months...
