Too many times I have written a post, got it ready to go, set up my Twitter module to tell the world, and then right after I hit submit, I realize that I forgot to add the Twitter hashtags that will carry my tweet to glory. It occurred to me that maybe I should give… Continue reading Drupal Twitter hashtag hack

I know that we have done the issue queue work as a challenge already, the very first one in January as a matter of fact. We got a lot accomplished in January, so let’s do a spring cleanup. The reason I want to come back to the issue queue is two-fold. First, it still needs… Continue reading Docs Challenge May: Issue cleanup part 2

While I was at Drupalcamp Galway, Stéphane (scor) recorded an interview with me about not just the Galway doc sprint, but also about future doc sprints around the world. He’s got the interview up on his blog and it’s only 6 minutes long. Give it a listen and let me know about your Drupal event… Continue reading Interview about Doc sprints

I managed to get my hands on a pre-release version of a new Drupal book that just came out this week. The book is Front End Drupal and it is written by Emma Jane Hogbin and Konstantin Kaefer. The book says on the cover, Designing, Theming, Scripting, and I’m excited to see another book that… Continue reading Book Review: Front End Drupal

The organizers pulled off a great camp and they deserve a ton of kudos for getting things started, keeping things smooth, and pulling off a really fun event. Stephane Corlosquet (scor), Stella Power (stella), Heather James (heather), and Alan Burke (alanburke) did some really great… Continue reading DrupalCamp Galway was a blast

I really want to thank everyone who is chipping in, even if only for five minutes. Every little bit that we do makes it just that much better for everyone. This month’s… Continue reading Docs Challenge April: tagging pages

In my post last week I mentioned that we had a professional cat herder, Cindy McCourt, for the Toronto Drupal documentation sprint and that the entire approach was a bit new and different for us. It was certainly different than anything I’d done before, especially in the Open Source or Drupal world. I should start… Continue reading Professional cat herder = win

This past weekend (March 21-22) several folks from a variety of backgrounds in the Drupal world got together to hammer on high-level documentation issues. Angie Byron, Neil Drumm, Emma Jane Hogbin, Lee Hunter, Cindy McCourt, Todd Neinkerk, David Strauss and myself gathered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, holed up in a hotel for the weekend, and… Continue reading A different kind of doc sprint

As much as my cohort and friend walkah takes digs at sprints ;-), I myself am a huge fan, caught up in the giddy wave of “getting shit done” while hanging around with a bunch of geeks eating Pringles and ice cream. With the Knight Foundation awarding me money to make it happen in the… Continue reading Let the games begin

I know I’m a bit late on the monthly challenge this time around, but between the Usability sprint and Drupalcon I’ve been a bit too hectic to get a post written up. So this will be a short month, but hopefully we can rock it anyway. This month the focus will be on spiffing up… Continue reading Docs Challenge March: Style guide review
