A new version of the Seagull framework has been released, download it here.
This is mostly a bugfix release but with some important improvements:
Improved preferences management
Better handling when DB connection is down
Updated FCKeditor to 2.6.3
Added German utf-8 support
Updated Horde_Routes lib
Consolidated translation features (SGL_Translation, SGL_Translation2) into new SGL_Translation3 PHP5 only package
Added media2 module which makes ajax uploads easier and provides media features to the CMS module
The Seagull framework release coincides with a new release of the CMS module, and an announcement of Doris, our new productivity app. You can read the announcement here if you’re not on the mailing list.
This will be the last release of the CMS module as a mainly developer-focused download. Version 2.0 of CMS will get its own website, improved developer and enduser documentation, and a Pay as You Go format for those who need the convenience of a hosted service. Read more about the improvements and try the preview here.

It seems http://stackoverflow.com/ is finally out of private beta, check it out. It’s the programmer’s Q&A resource that’s had the massive pre-hyping from Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood over at IT conversations.
First impression: it seems really great, better than the hyping in fact. Also quite active – while I was trying to answer a question 4 more response came in, inline. Some great community karma-enabling ideas. Only problem is it’s really heavily .NET weighted at the moment, so head on over and give it some of your PHP/linux/open source expertise
Wei Ling Chen from DZone contacted me the other day to announce a range of cheatsheets (or refcardz) they have made available for free download. They offer a whole range from Java, to PHP to .NET to Flex and more.
I found the cheatsheet for design patterns quite interesting, you need to register with the site in order to get the download link.
It feels like a friday when I receive emails like this from our friends in the recruitment profession:
MUST HAVES
PHP5 (php 4 isn’t relevant)
MVC experience (and/or Design Patterns in general)
SVN (we use Eclipse with Subclipse – experience with these things are preferred)
NICE TO HAVES
MemCache (pronounced “Mim-Cash”)
Experience with either JSON or SimpleXML (preferably both)
