		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has worked with WordPress knows that it&#8217;s greatest strength is also one of it&#8217;s greatest weaknesses: it&#8217;s architecture. The same architecture that makes it easy to include literally hundreds of plugins also makes it slow, resource-intensive and bulky. Unlike Drupal, WordPress doesn&#8217;t have a built-in caching mechanism. What is a developer to do? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leaders of the open source community are always trying to encourage others to contribute. Volunteer contributors are always in short supply, and most open source projects are driven by volunteers, so recruitment is a big component of any open source project lead. Elizabeth Naramore put together a great list of reasons why people tend to [...]]]></description>

At the same time, Keith Casey was in Redmond, Washington, where he was experiencing the Microsoft Web Developer&#8217;s Conference. As so often seems to happen with &#8220;Aha!&#8221; moments, both men came to pretty much the same realization at [...]]]></description>

Trac is written in Python. CruiseControl is written in Java, and phpUnderControl is built on top of CruiseControl. Jira is written in Java and is a commercial program.

PHP is one of the world&#8217;s largest open source projects. And if I haven&#8217;t convinced you yet that you need to contribute, perhaps this will help encourage you.

		<description><![CDATA[The PHP Community is a fairly large, rules-free community of people who share a common interest in programming. Many of us hang out on Twitter, our own blogs, or on IRC (usually on Freenode #phpc). So some events of the day certainly caught me by surprise. This afternoon, while hanging out in a lesser known [...]]]></description>

Picture this: you&#8217;ve got developers of all levels, working in the same room. They&#8217;ve been tasked with working on various open source projects. Only in PHP do you see expert level developers like Eli White, Matthew Turland [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My article from last week, &#8220;On Code Commenting and Technical Debt&#8221; raised a lot of response throughout the community. I think that discussion is great, and I&#8217;m all for a debate that enhances the community. But I feel as though my argument has been taken a bit out of context. To that end, here are [...]]]></description>
