I am elated to announce that I have been asked to participate on the advisory team for the next release of the SharePoint Guidance by the MS Patterns and Practices team. The upcoming release is focused on guidances around SharePoint 2010. I have already attended one meeting and read through the first few drops of the guidance and am VERY excited about what I see so far. There will be some great information around the selection of the scope of features and determining when to use the sandbox. It will be great to have this released when SharePoint 2010 goes live. If you have not read through the current guidance or looked through the current code deliverables, make it a point to do so, http://codeplex.com/spg. The latest drop has some excellent information that I would have loved to have had a year ago! I will try and post some details in the future regarding this guidance.
