thanks for highlighting this, marc : ) the posts are actually more about the /etc (eclectic tech carnival) web site sprint than the civircrm floss manual sprint, altho i use that as the starting point for a reflection on sprint-as-process in general.
& in case anyone is wondering, we haven't yet made the new /etc site live - it's nearly there but we are still doing user testing & last bits of the design before we launch it; so if you follow the url from my first blog about it, you'll still get the old site. it's a pretty massive job to get done in a week, i reckon we got about 80% of it done - especially the hard bits at the beginning working out what we needed within a drupal context. & we got all the fun bits like staying up late drinking wine & talking done as well : ) great that you've had a holiday & looking forward to seeing you on thursday, h : ) On 5/07/10 5:13 PM, marc garrett wrote: > Hi all, > > Just been catching up on various things.
