Two weeks ago almost the whole Mayflower crew met for a three day hacking event: the Mayflower Barcamp 2008. Some colleagues and myself did a extreme programming on the next version of phpMyFAQ. Here’s a short list of the new features we implemented in two days:

– rewrite of the RSS feeds using XMLWriter
