Mitch Pirtle commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Mitch Pirtle: Getting Involved in the MongoDB Project as a Contributor'
Curse you Slideshare, sick of uploading my slide deck and getting "OOOOPS!"
Thanks for the kind mention Amy, it was a fun session even though I was a bit slapshot about the topic. :-)

This being NFL draft weekend, I will point to a common football term - positional flexibility. Teams often draft players that can play multiple positions, allowing them to carry more bodies at other positions.
3PDs are entering an age where their…

*spacemonkey worries that someone is going to discover his mind-scanner™ in his space helmet
Mitch Pirtle replied to Robert Vining's discussion 'What features do you want to see in the new ATAAW?'
Thanks for pointing that out, I was not aware.

On the topic of moderation - one thing I liked when I was at KickApps was auto-moderation (people, profiles, comments, media, blog posts, threads, whatever!).
Basically there was a "report this" link on anything in a KickApps community.…

You need to look at snipplr then - as well as everyone else here - it's a great resource specifically for sharing code snippets and allows you to group and categorize with tags:

Mitch Pirtle replied to Robert Vining's discussion 'What features do you want to see in the new ATAAW?'
Why was I expecting this response from you? ;-)
Mitch Pirtle replied to Robert Vining's discussion 'What features do you want to see in the new ATAAW?'
I'll second that and up the ante a bit ;-)
What would really rawk is profiles for site members to include company information, and then have a searchable directory so I can filter for just designers, companies with products, etc. That would be…
Mitch Pirtle commented on Svein Wisnaes's blog post 'Pretty links in Joomla - what is the most solid approach?'
Stock SEF is fine for me - for SEO/SEM there are more important things to worry about than the URL.
Mitch Pirtle commented on Klas's blog post 'Why URL as cache id is inherently dangerous'
I've always been a fan of using JCache's method cache for this very reason. It is a lot easier to cache all of the required data for a view this way, and you're protected from silly URL shenanigans as you end up only using the key…
Mitch Pirtle commented on HarryB's blog post 'Whither Thou Goest Joomla!'
On one hand, Joomla has a significant weakness when it comes to enterprises and governments evaluating the platform - there are no MAJOR players in the Joomlasphere. You'll see a landscape littered with one-man and two-man armies, which…
Mitch Pirtle commented on Svein Wisnaes's blog post 'Sending out e-mail and avoiding the spam trap - how?'
One of your biggest challenges is the IP address of your outgoing SMTP server. In a nutshell, companies like Mailchimp, JangoSMTP and whatnot go through extraordinary steps (and frustration) to get their IP addresses whitelisted by all the major…
Mitch Pirtle commented on Herman Peeren's blog post 'Revolution OS'
When I can walk into a major chain store like Best Buy or WalMart and buy a computer with Linux on it, then we will have BEGUN to turn the tide against Microsoft. Until then, this is all wishful thinking and nothing more.
Fact of the matter is most…
Mitch Pirtle commented on Mustaq Sheikh's blog post 'Joomla Domain Name Abuse ?'
...and that's why the current leadership feels like they have to take a heavy-handed approach to protecting the trademark and brand of Joomla. Total bummer, if you ask me.
That said, it bothered me to see a zillion new followers all on twitter…
Mitch Pirtle commented on greg sayle's blog post 'Joomla and the Mobile platform.'
There are a growing number of companies that provide this as a service. Joomla template agencies are also starting to wise up to the trend. I'd say this movement is already in full swing, we ALL need to be mobile-aware or risk falling behind on…
Mitch Pirtle commented on Mike Hamanaka's blog post 'Evaluating Paid dev, graphs are skewed.'
I'm willing to wager that all the people that are in favor, and all that are against bothered to take the survey, and everyone else watched from the sidelines. Hrmph.
I agree with you Mike, in that maybe the graphs should have been percentages…

Joomla and non-code "bugs"
There's a fantastic discussion over on the Joomla Community Workgroup Leadership List(TM) that includes a carefully crafted email from Andrew Eddie (forwarded by Brad Baker) about creating a place for folks to call out for help, expose problems, raise concerns/complaints etc.
As I'm not allowed to post to that list, I wanted to say some things about it here, hoping others choose to chime in and voice their thoughts too.
