AnnouncementsLogin now required for comments
A quick note and an apology: I’ve had to modify the site configuration to require users to be registered and logged in before they can comment. We’ve been taking a ridiculous amount of comment spam, and it’s consuming more and more time to weed through it. You can register using any major social media account, so you don’t have to remember yet another username and password with us, so hopefully that’ll mitigate the inconvenience.

AnnouncementsThe New Look of the Scripting Games
I’ve been busily working on a new interface for the Scripting Games - we’re still planning a Winter Games event - and wanted to share progress. You can click this thumbnail to see the full image. The new Scripting Games features movable, resizable panes The new layout features movable, resizable panels, allowing you to position them however works best on your screen. No, they’re not especially mobile-friendly. As you can see (at least in implication), entries can consist of multiple files, as in a complex script module.

AnnouncementsSeeking Curators for PowerShell eBooks
[UPDATE: I think I’ve finally gotten all the books under curation - but if you’ve an idea for a PowerShell-related ebook, and would like to co-author or even be a principal author (I’ll help out with logistics), still hit me up.] As you may know, PowerShell.org hosts a number of free ebooks that have, to date, been written mainly by me. But I’ve recently been delighted to welcome some co-contributors - Forums regular Dave Wyatt has contributed new content to “Secrets of PowerShell Remoting,” for example, and Matt Penny has volunteered to organize the forthcoming “Community Book of PowerShell Practices.

AnnouncementsState of the Org: Website, Games, Summit, and More
I wanted to share a quick update on PowerShell.org, Inc. First, a couple of Web designer friends of mine have volunteered to do a visual re-theme of the site. Below is some of their early work, and you’re welcome to comment; I’ll just remind you that they’re volunteers and doing this _as a favor. _So be nice! You’ll notice that one of these reflects the layout a smartphone would use, which trims much of the “chrome” in favor of the content.

AnnouncementsNeed Desired State Configuration Modules?
You’ve probably been hearing about Desired State Configuration from a number of sources (Runas Radio, the PowerScripting Podcast, or the Channel 9 TechEd video for example).  If you haven’t go check out those previously mentioned resources, I’ll wait… Ok, now that you have a basic understanding of what Desired State Configuration (DSC) is, I have an announcement. PowerShell.Org is building a repository of DSC modules for the community to use and contribute to.
