Are you/we making progress?
I don't see any progress in here or in irc, Did any of the projects lift off? If not I have a project for us, A web2py (open-source python web framework) package management system and if we have time, scaffolding builder.
I expect this to take around 2-4 weeks to build & test. The project will involve JSON, Python, JavaScript, Git and some general linux knowledge.
I will require that anyone who joins have at least completed the python track from codeacademy.com (Or a similar intro guide), I will be project lead, we will use the waterfall method (straightforward & simple) & use trello.com (with 4 lists: Planned, To Do, In progress & Done) give me a shout and I will add you to the organization on trello. Reporting should be done daily and at checkin (Good practice, absolutely not required) And if possible we should be having G+ (or skype) meetings weekly.
If you have no experience at all of python, start with codeacademy and come back later (Never to late to join). Even if no one joins now I will still start this project solo.
Depending on my schedule this should start in about 1-3 weeks.
Questions?

We have started our first sprint! I just switched up schedules so I haven't had time to make a post, but I will update tomorrow with our progress!
We are currently in the design sprint of our blog platform. We are using Trello, balsamiq mockups, and have met via skype/google+ to discuss the project. We have actually created a blog on an existing platform (scriptogr.am) in order to document our progress, but there isn't much there yet. Anyone interested in submitting to the beginningwebdev blog should pm me and we can work out how to get your content up and published.
Wow, that is incredibly cool. I haven't been able to do much in the last few days due to school work but had assumed things had stalled because there hadn't been any updates on the sub. What decisions have you guys made so far? And how many people are working on the blog?
We have 3 people working on the blog, 2 front end and 1 back end. We are strictly in a design phase at the moment, though we have decided on our tech stack. We are using PHP for backend and going to use Bootsrap for the front end framework if it fits with our design goals :) I've also had some success learning how to implement Mustache, which is pretty amazing so far. We are also using Git for version control.
