Hey all!
Just another Summer of Code student checking in. I'm going to be working on search engine optimization work this summer. I feel like the ten of us are going to add a lot to silverstripe, and end up with some really amazing results at the end of the summer.Posted by Will Scott, 13/04/2007 8:06pm (2 years ago)
