There's been a couple who have expressed interest in writing these types of guidelines up, which I think is very important.  If others are either interested or experienced in such guidelines, please contact me and we'll get somethings down on paper, and finally up on the site.

I also setup a forum at http://forum.nyphp.org.  It's barebones right now, and needs to be tweaked for nyphp's look and functionality.  If you have experience managing a forum like this, please contact me and we can work together on getting this resource out to the community.


Thanks,
