We’re looking for a few good PowerShell contributors! You don’t need to be a PowerShell expert in order to make a valuable contribution to this community - there are a number of ways in which you can help.

If you are an expert, consider answer questions in ourforums. If you have a specific topical area that interests you - Active Directory, SQL Server, whatever - then we can give you your own topic-specific “Ask the Experts” forum. That’s a huge help to the many administrators out there who are trying hard to do their jobs.
We’d also love to have someone moderate different sets of recommendations. We’re always asked about book reviews, training reviews, and more - so if that interests you, let us know by dropping a comment in the Suggestion Box (in the forums). We can connect you with publishers so that you can get copies of books, read through them, and then post reviews to benefit the community. Or whatever… you could review tools, training videos, or whatever you like. It’s all helpful!
Just let us know how you’d like to contribute, and we’ll try and make it happen!

We&rsquo;ve moved the site off of the old DotNetNuke software, and are now using a combination of WordPress (for community-hosted blogs) and Vanilla 2 (for the forums and for blog comments).<br> Why the new site? A couple of reasons. For one, we desperately wanted to get out of the DotNetNuke software, which has proven somewhat difficult to work with since none of us are experts with it. We also needed to get the site out of it&rsquo;s home in a Quest datacenter. Quest was awesome for providing that hosting, but they&rsquo;re moving on to bigger and better things, and we wanted to get a bit more control over the site. We also wanted to trim the site down a bit, to focus mainly on providing a blogging platform and aggregation point, and the all-important Q&amp;A forums that folks rely on.</p><![CDATA[
