Mike Wood, James Bender, and Chris Woodruff saw a gap in the community. They saw that there was a strong community and a great deal of support for all types of developers. They also noticed that there isn’t a lot out there to help architects and aspiring architects come together, learn, and become better at what they do.

So they got together, scrabbled together some cash (Microsoft is proud to be a sponsor), and launched www.nPlus1.org. The team is organized into two groups. Senior Editors run the organization, and coordinate the original content that is submitted for publishing. Then there is a larger group of Editors. Editors focus on submitting links and summaries of content found elsewhere on the Internet (known as TidBits on the site). They are actively looking for more Editors, so ping them if you are interested. This two pronged approach brings both new content from local authors, and a simple way to find all of the great architecture related content scattered all over the place.

The site is specifically geared for all types of architecture, and related interests. It is a v1.0 of the site, so please submit any feedback on how to make it better to the Senior Editors on the site.

I was asked to write an article to be part of the launch content. I submitted “What Does An Architect Do? It Depends.” Give it a read, browse the site, and subscribe to the RSS feeds.

I know they have a lot of ideas for improving the site over the next few weeks. And if you have an interesting link, and an idea for an article, I recommend you contact them with your idea.

Hi, Brian. I visited the site, but I didn't see a feed. Is this still forthcoming?
